Belarus and the EU resumed dialogue on human rights

'29.07.2015' Source: European truth Subscribe to ForumDaily on Google News

The first round of dialogue on human rights was held between the European Union and Belarus after a six-year hiatus.

Among the topics discussed during the dialogue were the creation of a national human rights institute in Belarus; freedom of speech, expression and assembly; application of the death penalty; combating attitudes that degrade human dignity; respect for children's rights.

In addition, the EU delegation raised the issue of political prisoners and the detention of human rights defenders.

The parties agreed to hold the next round of dialogue in the 2016 year in Minsk.

The Human Rights Dialogue is the most common format for human rights consultations in Brussels with countries outside the European Union. This dialogue is conducted with more than forty states from different regions of the world.

For the first time, a dialogue with Belarus was held in Prague on 16-17 on June 2009, but then there was no continuation of negotiations.
