From 20th – 22nd of September 2010 in Kislovodsk (Stavropol Territory) took place a seminar within Human rights school in North Caucasus. The school is conducted by the Committee “Civil assistance” in co-operation with regional representations of the human rights center of “Memorial” of three republics - Chechnya, Ingushetia and the North Ossetia. The lecturers were conducted by the famous legal expert, honorary president of YHRM Andrey Yurov and Igor Sazhin, the chairman of Komi Human Rights Commission “Memorial”.
About 20 young people from Chechen Republic took part in the seminar. Basically, they were students of various Grozny universities, who had passed a selection and had expressed their interest in human rights. The activities were focused on the topics: genesis of human rights, advocacy, a modern theory and mechanisms of protection of human rights and other issues. Some curators also participated in the seminar. The curators are more experienced participants of previous seminars, whom new participants could refer to for supplementary information, contacts and advice.
Due to the topic North Caucasus the seminar turned out as very vivid and emotional. The participants were presented a modern concept of international law and human rights as an alternative along with the system of traditional society with its laws. In order to understand it completely it was offered them from the very beginning to look at it most critically.
«In one of the lectures, among other things, there was presented an idea according to which the power is a manager whom we ourselves hire ourselves and consequently beacause of this one of our obligations is to ask, if he does it good or not. Many tried to understand it, listened with interest and asked questions, but others were shocked of the whole idea. The fact that the participants were addressed by such important questions, seemed very important to me. I really liked it that, when during en exercise ,where it was offered to choose the methods for problem's solutions, many guys began to mention absolutely nonviolent methods and also aimed at arrangement with neighboors or rivals. The very possibility of a violent solution for conflict situations emerged at the end of the conversation. I liked it a lot, that first came to mind models of peace conflicts resolution and problems solution», - said Anastasia Denisova, a member of the organization group of the seminar.
