Аналитика и интервью

Как это часто (вернее сказать, всегда) бывает с утопиями, едва приняв осязаемую форму, она обрекла себя на потерю смысла. Из своего рода манифеста человечества, отрезвлённого Второй Мировой, права человека превратились в инструмент силы. Начинаясь как благородные идеи, они превратились в набор догм, которыми успешно жонглируют касты «посвящённых» - юристы, дипломаты, политическая элита.

From 10 to 15 of May in Kislovodsk (Russia) "Introductory Seminar on Human Rights” for young people from Chechnya and Ingushetia took place. The seminar was organized by the Committee "Civil Assistance" in the framework of the program for education in the sphere of Human Rights for the North Caucasus, which is implemented with support of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. The seminar was attended by 50 students and young members of public organizations. The seminar was conducted by experienced trainers: President of International Youth Human Rights Movement Andrey Yurov and chairperson of the Human Rights commission "Memorial" in the Komi Republic, YHRM Honorary Participant Igor Sazhin.
The training program consisted of three main thematic blocks: Human Rights, advocacy and problems of the Caucasus. The latter subject had particular resonance among the participants, indicating their desire to participate actively in public life of their region. Many young people are interested in the activities of the Youth Human Rights Movement, and expressed willingness to undergo internship at the International Secretariat in Voronezh, as well as continue study in the field of Human Rights.
During these days the necessity of events with young people from different regions of Russia to explore the life of the modern Caucasus, share experiences, overcoming stereotypes and establish dialogue and cooperation between young people and activists was discussed many times.
