European Development Bank:
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development must maintain demands that Turkmenistan and Belarus meet set benchmarks before any investment in the restrictive countries. The Norwegian Helsinki Committee today participated in a meeting at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in London, discussing the Bank’s calibrated approach towards Belarus and Turkmenistan. The two authoritarian countries are the only cases in which the EBRD has initiated such an approach that allows for closer monitoring of the progress or regress towards set benchmarks on political and economic reform, and more rapid response to the development.
Turkmenistan
Den norske Helsingforskomité har overvåket og rapportert om situasjonen i Turkmenistan siden 2000. Landet er et av verdens mest restriktive og undertrykkende regimer. Det finnes ingen ytringsfrihet, alle massemedier er under regjeringens kontroll, det finnes ingen tillatt politisk opposisjon, og heller ingen registrerte menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner. Bare russisk ortodoks kristendom og sunni islam har offentlig, lovlig status. Den norske Helsingforskomité har aldri lyktes i å få innreise til landet.
Central-Asia:
The NHC is pleased to announce a contest for project proposals aiming at improving the situation regarding human rights, democratization or civil society in Central Asia. All organizations in the region with project proposals related to human rights, democratization or strengthening of civil society may apply. At the same time, we encourage projects targeting political rights in Kazakhstan, minority rights in Tajikistan, and reconciliation and protection of basic human rights after the Osh events in Kyrgyzstan.
