The Norwegian Helsinki Committee is hosting two important seminars in May. On Monday 18th The Norwegian House of litterature will be the venue for the Seminar The Belarus Road Map to Europe=the Road to Democracy? The seminar, starting at 13:00, will discuss the recent invitation from the European Union to Belarus to join the Eastern Partnership, and how this invitation can bring Belarus into a process of much needed reforms. At the seminar we will ask prominent members of the Belarusian opposition parties and other parts of the civil society what they think about the European invitation of President Lukashenko, and in which direction Belarus is moving. See program below. The Norwegian Helsinki Committee is also, in co-operation with the Nobel Peace Center, on the 25th of May at 12:30 arranging the seminar Unjust and inefficient? Dublin II and the right to asylum in Europe, at the Nobel Peace Center. The seminar will discuss the so-called Dublin II-regulation and to what extent this European regulation ensures legal protection to asylum-seekers, particularly in view of the situation for asylumseekers in Greece. The seminar is held in connection with the opening of the photo exhibition Waiting Room, by Linda Bournane Engelberth. The exhibition shows the waiting, boredom and silence of people at Norwegian asylum reception centers. The Belarus Road Map to Europe=the Road to Democracy? Unjust and inefficient?
