    On Tuesday, corresponding to 17.11.2020,  Democracy Centre for Transparency hosted a webinar on Human Rights Situation in Egypt<\/strong>.
    The webinar was attended by Mr. Fabio Massimo Castaldo, the vice president of the European Parliament, MS. Maria Laura Franciosi ,  the chair founder of Brussels press club and a journalist on European Affairs, Dr. Leslie Piquemal, Senior EU Advocacy representative at Cairo institution for human rights studies and Mr.Tarek Mahmoud, an Egyptian journalist and former head of the office of Egyptian news agency Mena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mr.Castaldo started the briefing with some introductory remarks on the situation in Egypt. He also added \u201c since president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi came to power in 2013, the human rights situation has deteriorated in  a catastrophic way, and this is also demonstrated by the wave of arrests following the protests of last fall against corruption in the government.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He mentioned that Cairo is an important partner for the European Union on the economic level , on the migration issue and for regional stability, and Europe can\u2019t stay silent , dialogue must be intensified to maintain good relations with Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tackling the issue of the political sphere and the public space closure in Egypt , Dr.Piquemal emphasized the rollback of democracy in Egypt which has increased and accelerated in 2018 during the president show election, in 2019 constitutional amendments, andin  2020 legislative elections which are still ongoing. All these events involved a very broad and general denial of citizenship righta to a free participation in public affairs. Added Ms. Piquemal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She also referred to preventing candidates of opposition parties from organizing those own compsignes. Piquemal asserted that the constitutional amendments in 2019 were meant to extend Alsisi's time in power, to constitutionalize the executive authority to grant the military custadionshiip on Egyptian citizens and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In  the context of frredom of expression,Ms. Maria Laura Franciosi confirmed that critisims is a genuine right in the press, condemning the closure of human rights websites in Egypt, and sending defenders behind bars. Ms. Maria strongly believe that the European Union does not seem to do much against the alarming situation of freedom of expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PKJ4vvSiSgE&feature=youtu.be\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Ms. Franciosi continued to catgorically deplore all forms of abuse against journalists and human rights defenders, remembering the brutal killing of the Italian journalist Giulio Regeni who was prepareing for his PH.D assertation. She ended with calling upon the European Union to act more firmly against these practices against freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The seminar ended wirh the contribution of the Egyptian journalist Tarek Mahmoud who pointed out that the Egyptian authorities always accuse journalists and human rights defenders of international conspiracy against Egypt. Mr. Mahmoud reviewed that 90 journalists are in prison and 12 were killed since 2011, reminding when the journalist Regeni was tortured to death, and other 5 people paid the cost and there were killed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mr. Mahmoud further said that Alsisi manipulates both Muslims and Christians, making them afraid of each other; Alsisi is playing the same game in Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mr. Tarek lamented why the European Union is not spending adequate efforts to stop the unbearable situation in Egypt, warning of a dark future in continuation of violations against human rights in terms of impunity, forced disapprance, torture, and confiscation of basic rights.

    Infolge der Oktoberrevolution wurde den zum ehemaligen Zarenreich geh\u00f6rigen Regionen das Austrittsrecht aus dem russischen Staatsverband gew\u00e4hrt. Sowohl Armenien als auch Aserbaidschan erkl\u00e4rten sich 1918 f\u00fcr unabh\u00e4ngig. Beide Nationen erhoben Anspruch auf Bergkarabach, das zu 90 Prozent armenisch bev\u00f6lkert war. Die K\u00e4mpfe um die Region wurden durch den Einmarsch der Roten Armee zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter beendet. Armenien, Aserbaidschan und auch Bergkarabach wurden Teil der Sowjetunion. 1921 sprach Stalin Bergkarabach der aserbaidschanischen SSR zu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Im Jahr 1988 trat Bergkarabach jedoch als Autonomes Gebiet Arzach aus Aserbaidschan aus. Dieser Akt l\u00f6ste erneute Unruhen und Vertreibungswellen aus.

    2. The EU should provide forensics experts and conduct DNA testing to help with the GNA\u2019s gravesite investigations.<\/li>
    3. The EU should pressure parties to the conflict including countries that support them such as the UAE and mercenaries such as the Wagner Group to leave Libya immediately.<\/li>

           To this end<\/strong>, we call on the European Union and the GNA to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

           1. The GNA should investigate what happened to the missing residents.<\/li>
           2. The EU should provide forensics experts and conduct DNA testing to help with the GNA\u2019s gravesite investigations.<\/li>
           3. The EU should pressure parties to the conflict including countries that support them such as the UAE and mercenaries such as the Wagner Group to leave Libya immediately.<\/li>
           4. The EU should support political dialogue between Libyan parties to the conflict and make sure that those responsible for these crimes are held accountable.<\/li>
           5. Libyan warring parties should put the interests of their country first and end all forms of hostilities which would only increase civilian casualties.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  On Tuesday, corresponding to 17.11.2020,  Democracy Centre for Transparency hosted a webinar on Human Rights Situation in Egypt<\/strong>.
                  The webinar was attended by Mr. Fabio Massimo Castaldo, the vice president of the European Parliament, MS. Maria Laura Franciosi ,  the chair founder of Brussels press club and a journalist on European Affairs, Dr. Leslie Piquemal, Senior EU Advocacy representative at Cairo institution for human rights studies and Mr.Tarek Mahmoud, an Egyptian journalist and former head of the office of Egyptian news agency Mena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Mr.Castaldo started the briefing with some introductory remarks on the situation in Egypt. He also added \u201c since president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi came to power in 2013, the human rights situation has deteriorated in  a catastrophic way, and this is also demonstrated by the wave of arrests following the protests of last fall against corruption in the government.
                  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  He mentioned that Cairo is an important partner for the European Union on the economic level , on the migration issue and for regional stability, and Europe can\u2019t stay silent , dialogue must be intensified to maintain good relations with Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Tackling the issue of the political sphere and the public space closure in Egypt , Dr.Piquemal emphasized the rollback of democracy in Egypt which has increased and accelerated in 2018 during the president show election, in 2019 constitutional amendments, andin  2020 legislative elections which are still ongoing. All these events involved a very broad and general denial of citizenship righta to a free participation in public affairs. Added Ms. Piquemal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  She also referred to preventing candidates of opposition parties from organizing those own compsignes. Piquemal asserted that the constitutional amendments in 2019 were meant to extend Alsisi's time in power, to constitutionalize the executive authority to grant the military custadionshiip on Egyptian citizens and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In  the context of frredom of expression,Ms. Maria Laura Franciosi confirmed that critisims is a genuine right in the press, condemning the closure of human rights websites in Egypt, and sending defenders behind bars. Ms. Maria strongly believe that the European Union does not seem to do much against the alarming situation of freedom of expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PKJ4vvSiSgE&feature=youtu.be\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Ms. Franciosi continued to catgorically deplore all forms of abuse against journalists and human rights defenders, remembering the brutal killing of the Italian journalist Giulio Regeni who was prepareing for his PH.D assertation. She ended with calling upon the European Union to act more firmly against these practices against freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The seminar ended wirh the contribution of the Egyptian journalist Tarek Mahmoud who pointed out that the Egyptian authorities always accuse journalists and human rights defenders of international conspiracy against Egypt. Mr. Mahmoud reviewed that 90 journalists are in prison and 12 were killed since 2011, reminding when the journalist Regeni was tortured to death, and other 5 people paid the cost and there were killed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Mr. Mahmoud further said that Alsisi manipulates both Muslims and Christians, making them afraid of each other; Alsisi is playing the same game in Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Mr. Tarek lamented why the European Union is not spending adequate efforts to stop the unbearable situation in Egypt, warning of a dark future in continuation of violations against human rights in terms of impunity, forced disapprance, torture, and confiscation of basic rights.

                  Die Kriegshandlungen um die Region Bergkarabach forderten bis zum Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien Tausende Tote und Verletzte. Zehntausende Menschen sind auf der Flucht. Die Frage nach dem Status des Gebietes im S\u00fcdkaukasus heizt den Konflikt an. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist die Frage nur mit einem Blick in die Geschichte zu bewerten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Infolge der Oktoberrevolution wurde den zum ehemaligen Zarenreich geh\u00f6rigen Regionen das Austrittsrecht aus dem russischen Staatsverband gew\u00e4hrt. Sowohl Armenien als auch Aserbaidschan erkl\u00e4rten sich 1918 f\u00fcr unabh\u00e4ngig. Beide Nationen erhoben Anspruch auf Bergkarabach, das zu 90 Prozent armenisch bev\u00f6lkert war. Die K\u00e4mpfe um die Region wurden durch den Einmarsch der Roten Armee zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter beendet. Armenien, Aserbaidschan und auch Bergkarabach wurden Teil der Sowjetunion. 1921 sprach Stalin Bergkarabach der aserbaidschanischen SSR zu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Im Jahr 1988 trat Bergkarabach jedoch als Autonomes Gebiet Arzach aus Aserbaidschan aus. Dieser Akt l\u00f6ste erneute Unruhen und Vertreibungswellen aus. Verfechter des Autonomiebestrebens von Bergkarabach beziehen sich vor allem auf die Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitserkl\u00e4rung 1991. Am 3. September des Jahres erkl\u00e4rte die Region als Republik Bergkarabach nach Armenien und Aserbaidschan seine eigene Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit. Wieder kam es zu Kampfhandlungen in den Grenzgebieten. Aserbaidschan schaffte den autonomen Status Bergkarabachs wieder ab. Daraufhin fand am 10. Dezember 1991 ein Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitsreferendum statt, das allerdings von der aserbaidschanischen Bev\u00f6lkerung boykottiert wurde. Mit 99,89 Prozent der Stimmen wurde das Referendum zugunsten der Autonomie des Gebietes entschieden. Diese Entscheidung wurde allerdings weder von der UN noch von irgendeinem Einzelstaat anerkannt, die Bergkarabach weiterhin Aserbaidschan zurechnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  W\u00e4hrend Bergkarabach auf sein Recht auf nationale Selbstbestimmung verweist, pocht Aserbaidschan auf seine territoriale Integrit\u00e4t. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist das Thema komplex. Der deutsche Rechtswissenschaftler und Jurist Otto Luchterhandt sieht die Bedeutung des Selbstbestimmungsrechts als h\u00f6herwertiger als das Recht auf territoriale Integrit\u00e4t: \u201e[Beim Bergkarabach-Konflikt] wird h\u00e4ufig gesagt, in den Medien, auch von V\u00f6lkerrechtlern, dass das Selbstbestimmungsrecht (der Bergkarabach-Armenier) gewisserma\u00dfen auf der einen Seite stehe, und auf der anderen Seite das von Aserbaidschan in Anspruch genommene Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t.

                         Tackling the issue of the political sphere and the public space closure in Egypt , Dr.Piquemal emphasized the rollback of democracy in Egypt which has increased and accelerated in 2018 during the president show election, in 2019 constitutional amendments, andin  2020 legislative elections which are still ongoing. All these events involved a very broad and general denial of citizenship righta to a free participation in public affairs. Added Ms. Piquemal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         She also referred to preventing candidates of opposition parties from organizing those own compsignes. Piquemal asserted that the constitutional amendments in 2019 were meant to extend Alsisi's time in power, to constitutionalize the executive authority to grant the military custadionshiip on Egyptian citizens and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         In  the context of frredom of expression,Ms. Maria Laura Franciosi confirmed that critisims is a genuine right in the press, condemning the closure of human rights websites in Egypt, and sending defenders behind bars.

                         Ms. Franciosi continued to catgorically deplore all forms of abuse against journalists and human rights defenders, remembering the brutal killing of the Italian journalist Giulio Regeni who was prepareing for his PH.D assertation. She ended with calling upon the European Union to act more firmly against these practices against freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         The seminar ended wirh the contribution of the Egyptian journalist Tarek Mahmoud who pointed out that the Egyptian authorities always accuse journalists and human rights defenders of international conspiracy against Egypt. Mr. Mahmoud reviewed that 90 journalists are in prison and 12 were killed since 2011, reminding when the journalist Regeni was tortured to death, and other 5 people paid the cost and there were killed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         Mr. Mahmoud further said that Alsisi manipulates both Muslims and Christians, making them afraid of each other; Alsisi is playing the same game in Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         Mr. Tarek lamented why the European Union is not spending adequate efforts to stop the unbearable situation in Egypt, warning of a dark future in continuation of violations against human rights in terms of impunity, forced disapprance, torture, and confiscation of basic rights.

                         Die Kriegshandlungen um die Region Bergkarabach forderten bis zum Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien Tausende Tote und Verletzte.

Die K\u00e4mpfe um die Region wurden durch den Einmarsch der Roten Armee zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter beendet.

                         The al-Kani militia is supported by forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar, who is supported by countries such as the UAE, and by mercenaries such as the Wagner Group, which is made of mercenaries from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                         1. The GNA should investigate what happened to the missing residents.<\/li>

                         4. The EU should support political dialogue between Libyan parties to the conflict and make sure that those responsible for these crimes are held accountable.<\/li>

                                The al-Kani militia is supported by forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar, who is supported by countries such as the UAE, and by mercenaries such as the Wagner Group, which is made of mercenaries from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                According to Human Rights Watch, the militia often abducted, detained, tortured, killed, and disappeared people who opposed them or who were suspected of doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       On Tuesday, corresponding to 17.11.2020,  Democracy Centre for Transparency hosted a webinar on Human Rights Situation in Egypt<\/strong>.
                                       The webinar was attended by Mr. Fabio Massimo Castaldo, the vice president of the European Parliament, MS. Maria Laura Franciosi ,  the chair founder of Brussels press club and a journalist on European Affairs, Dr. Leslie Piquemal, Senior EU Advocacy representative at Cairo institution for human rights studies and Mr.Tarek Mahmoud, an Egyptian journalist and former head of the office of Egyptian news agency Mena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Mr.Castaldo started the briefing with some introductory remarks on the situation in Egypt. He also added \u201c since president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi came to power in 2013, the human rights situation has deteriorated in  a catastrophic way, and this is also demonstrated by the wave of arrests following the protests of last fall against corruption in the government.
                                       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       He mentioned that Cairo is an important partner for the European Union on the economic level , on the migration issue and for regional stability, and Europe can\u2019t stay silent , dialogue must be intensified to maintain good relations with Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Tackling the issue of the political sphere and the public space closure in Egypt , Dr.Piquemal emphasized the rollback of democracy in Egypt which has increased and accelerated in 2018 during the president show election, in 2019 constitutional amendments, andin  2020 legislative elections which are still ongoing. All these events involved a very broad and general denial of citizenship righta to a free participation in public affairs. Added Ms. Piquemal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       She also referred to preventing candidates of opposition parties from organizing those own compsignes. Piquemal asserted that the constitutional amendments in 2019 were meant to extend Alsisi's time in power, to constitutionalize the executive authority to grant the military custadionshiip on Egyptian citizens and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       In  the context of frredom of expression,Ms. Maria Laura Franciosi confirmed that critisims is a genuine right in the press, condemning the closure of human rights websites in Egypt, and sending defenders behind bars. Ms. Maria strongly believe that the European Union does not seem to do much against the alarming situation of freedom of expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       \nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PKJ4vvSiSgE&feature=youtu.be\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                                       Ms. Franciosi continued to catgorically deplore all forms of abuse against journalists and human rights defenders, remembering the brutal killing of the Italian journalist Giulio Regeni who was prepareing for his PH.D assertation. She ended with calling upon the European Union to act more firmly against these practices against freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       The seminar ended wirh the contribution of the Egyptian journalist Tarek Mahmoud who pointed out that the Egyptian authorities always accuse journalists and human rights defenders of international conspiracy against Egypt. Mr. Mahmoud reviewed that 90 journalists are in prison and 12 were killed since 2011, reminding when the journalist Regeni was tortured to death, and other 5 people paid the cost and there were killed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Mr. Mahmoud further said that Alsisi manipulates both Muslims and Christians, making them afraid of each other; Alsisi is playing the same game in Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Mr. Tarek lamented why the European Union is not spending adequate efforts to stop the unbearable situation in Egypt, warning of a dark future in continuation of violations against human rights in terms of impunity, forced disapprance, torture, and confiscation of basic rights.
                                       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Die Kriegshandlungen um die Region Bergkarabach forderten bis zum Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien Tausende Tote und Verletzte. Zehntausende Menschen sind auf der Flucht. Die Frage nach dem Status des Gebietes im S\u00fcdkaukasus heizt den Konflikt an. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist die Frage nur mit einem Blick in die Geschichte zu bewerten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Infolge der Oktoberrevolution wurde den zum ehemaligen Zarenreich geh\u00f6rigen Regionen das Austrittsrecht aus dem russischen Staatsverband gew\u00e4hrt. Sowohl Armenien als auch Aserbaidschan erkl\u00e4rten sich 1918 f\u00fcr unabh\u00e4ngig. Beide Nationen erhoben Anspruch auf Bergkarabach, das zu 90 Prozent armenisch bev\u00f6lkert war. Die K\u00e4mpfe um die Region wurden durch den Einmarsch der Roten Armee zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter beendet. Armenien, Aserbaidschan und auch Bergkarabach wurden Teil der Sowjetunion. 1921 sprach Stalin Bergkarabach der aserbaidschanischen SSR zu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       Im Jahr 1988 trat Bergkarabach jedoch als Autonomes Gebiet Arzach aus Aserbaidschan aus. Dieser Akt l\u00f6ste erneute Unruhen und Vertreibungswellen aus. Verfechter des Autonomiebestrebens von Bergkarabach beziehen sich vor allem auf die Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitserkl\u00e4rung 1991. Am 3. September des Jahres erkl\u00e4rte die Region als Republik Bergkarabach nach Armenien und Aserbaidschan seine eigene Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit. Wieder kam es zu Kampfhandlungen in den Grenzgebieten. Aserbaidschan schaffte den autonomen Status Bergkarabachs wieder ab. Daraufhin fand am 10. Dezember 1991 ein Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitsreferendum statt, das allerdings von der aserbaidschanischen Bev\u00f6lkerung boykottiert wurde. Mit 99,89 Prozent der Stimmen wurde das Referendum zugunsten der Autonomie des Gebietes entschieden. Diese Entscheidung wurde allerdings weder von der UN noch von irgendeinem Einzelstaat anerkannt, die Bergkarabach weiterhin Aserbaidschan zurechnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                       W\u00e4hrend Bergkarabach auf sein Recht auf nationale Selbstbestimmung verweist, pocht Aserbaidschan auf seine territoriale Integrit\u00e4t. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist das Thema komplex. Der deutsche Rechtswissenschaftler und Jurist Otto Luchterhandt sieht die Bedeutung des Selbstbestimmungsrechts als h\u00f6herwertiger als das Recht auf territoriale Integrit\u00e4t: \u201e[Beim Bergkarabach-Konflikt] wird h\u00e4ufig gesagt, in den Medien, auch von V\u00f6lkerrechtlern, dass das Selbstbestimmungsrecht (der Bergkarabach-Armenier) gewisserma\u00dfen auf der einen Seite stehe, und auf der anderen Seite das von Aserbaidschan in Anspruch genommene Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t. Dies ist eine unrichtige Gegen\u00fcberstellung. Das Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t ist kein selbstst\u00e4ndiges Prinzip der Charta der Vereinten Nationen, sondern es ist eingeordnet als ein Untergesichtspunkt, [\u2026] die territoriale Integrit\u00e4t hat eine untergeordnete Bedeutung.\u201c<\/p>\n","post_title":"Autonomie f\u00fcr Bergkarabach \u2013 wie steht das V\u00f6lkerrecht dazu?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"autonomie-fur-bergkarabach-wie-steht-das-volkerrecht-dazu","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-02 08:39:39","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-02 08:39:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dctransparency.com\/?p=3896","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

                                              On Tuesday, corresponding to 17.11.2020,  Democracy Centre for Transparency hosted a webinar on Human Rights Situation in Egypt<\/strong>.
                                              The webinar was attended by Mr. Fabio Massimo Castaldo, the vice president of the European Parliament, MS. Maria Laura Franciosi ,  the chair founder of Brussels press club and a journalist on European Affairs, Dr. Leslie Piquemal, Senior EU Advocacy representative at Cairo institution for human rights studies and Mr.Tarek Mahmoud, an Egyptian journalist and former head of the office of Egyptian news agency Mena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Mr.Castaldo started the briefing with some introductory remarks on the situation in Egypt. He also added \u201c since president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi came to power in 2013, the human rights situation has deteriorated in  a catastrophic way, and this is also demonstrated by the wave of arrests following the protests of last fall against corruption in the government.
                                              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              He mentioned that Cairo is an important partner for the European Union on the economic level , on the migration issue and for regional stability, and Europe can\u2019t stay silent , dialogue must be intensified to maintain good relations with Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Tackling the issue of the political sphere and the public space closure in Egypt , Dr.Piquemal emphasized the rollback of democracy in Egypt which has increased and accelerated in 2018 during the president show election, in 2019 constitutional amendments, andin  2020 legislative elections which are still ongoing. All these events involved a very broad and general denial of citizenship righta to a free participation in public affairs. Added Ms. Piquemal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              She also referred to preventing candidates of opposition parties from organizing those own compsignes. Piquemal asserted that the constitutional amendments in 2019 were meant to extend Alsisi's time in power, to constitutionalize the executive authority to grant the military custadionshiip on Egyptian citizens and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              In  the context of frredom of expression,Ms. Maria Laura Franciosi confirmed that critisims is a genuine right in the press, condemning the closure of human rights websites in Egypt, and sending defenders behind bars. Ms. Maria strongly believe that the European Union does not seem to do much against the alarming situation of freedom of expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Ms. Franciosi continued to catgorically deplore all forms of abuse against journalists and human rights defenders, remembering the brutal killing of the Italian journalist Giulio Regeni who was prepareing for his PH.D assertation. She ended with calling upon the European Union to act more firmly against these practices against freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The seminar ended wirh the contribution of the Egyptian journalist Tarek Mahmoud who pointed out that the Egyptian authorities always accuse journalists and human rights defenders of international conspiracy against Egypt. Mr. Mahmoud reviewed that 90 journalists are in prison and 12 were killed since 2011, reminding when the journalist Regeni was tortured to death, and other 5 people paid the cost and there were killed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Mr. Mahmoud further said that Alsisi manipulates both Muslims and Christians, making them afraid of each other; Alsisi is playing the same game in Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Mr. Tarek lamented why the European Union is not spending adequate efforts to stop the unbearable situation in Egypt, warning of a dark future in continuation of violations against human rights in terms of impunity, forced disapprance, torture, and confiscation of basic rights.

                                              Die Kriegshandlungen um die Region Bergkarabach forderten bis zum Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien Tausende Tote und Verletzte. Zehntausende Menschen sind auf der Flucht. Die Frage nach dem Status des Gebietes im S\u00fcdkaukasus heizt den Konflikt an. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist die Frage nur mit einem Blick in die Geschichte zu bewerten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Infolge der Oktoberrevolution wurde den zum ehemaligen Zarenreich geh\u00f6rigen Regionen das Austrittsrecht aus dem russischen Staatsverband gew\u00e4hrt. Sowohl Armenien als auch Aserbaidschan erkl\u00e4rten sich 1918 f\u00fcr unabh\u00e4ngig. Beide Nationen erhoben Anspruch auf Bergkarabach, das zu 90 Prozent armenisch bev\u00f6lkert war. Die K\u00e4mpfe um die Region wurden durch den Einmarsch der Roten Armee zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter beendet. Armenien, Aserbaidschan und auch Bergkarabach wurden Teil der Sowjetunion. 1921 sprach Stalin Bergkarabach der aserbaidschanischen SSR zu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Im Jahr 1988 trat Bergkarabach jedoch als Autonomes Gebiet Arzach aus Aserbaidschan aus. Dieser Akt l\u00f6ste erneute Unruhen und Vertreibungswellen aus. Verfechter des Autonomiebestrebens von Bergkarabach beziehen sich vor allem auf die Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitserkl\u00e4rung 1991. Am 3. September des Jahres erkl\u00e4rte die Region als Republik Bergkarabach nach Armenien und Aserbaidschan seine eigene Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit. Wieder kam es zu Kampfhandlungen in den Grenzgebieten. Aserbaidschan schaffte den autonomen Status Bergkarabachs wieder ab. Daraufhin fand am 10. Dezember 1991 ein Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitsreferendum statt, das allerdings von der aserbaidschanischen Bev\u00f6lkerung boykottiert wurde. Mit 99,89 Prozent der Stimmen wurde das Referendum zugunsten der Autonomie des Gebietes entschieden. Diese Entscheidung wurde allerdings weder von der UN noch von irgendeinem Einzelstaat anerkannt, die Bergkarabach weiterhin Aserbaidschan zurechnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              W\u00e4hrend Bergkarabach auf sein Recht auf nationale Selbstbestimmung verweist, pocht Aserbaidschan auf seine territoriale Integrit\u00e4t. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist das Thema komplex. Der deutsche Rechtswissenschaftler und Jurist Otto Luchterhandt sieht die Bedeutung des Selbstbestimmungsrechts als h\u00f6herwertiger als das Recht auf territoriale Integrit\u00e4t: \u201e[Beim Bergkarabach-Konflikt] wird h\u00e4ufig gesagt, in den Medien, auch von V\u00f6lkerrechtlern, dass das Selbstbestimmungsrecht (der Bergkarabach-Armenier) gewisserma\u00dfen auf der einen Seite stehe, und auf der anderen Seite das von Aserbaidschan in Anspruch genommene Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t. Dies ist eine unrichtige Gegen\u00fcberstellung. Das Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t ist kein selbstst\u00e4ndiges Prinzip der Charta der Vereinten Nationen, sondern es ist eingeordnet als ein Untergesichtspunkt, [\u2026] die territoriale Integrit\u00e4t hat eine untergeordnete Bedeutung.\u201c<\/p>\n","post_title":"Autonomie f\u00fcr Bergkarabach \u2013 wie steht das V\u00f6lkerrecht dazu?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"autonomie-fur-bergkarabach-wie-steht-das-volkerrecht-dazu","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-02 08:39:39","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-02 08:39:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dctransparency.com\/?p=3896","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

                                              Petition: CALL ON THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE MASS GRAVES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, express our deep concern about the recent reports of uncovering yet another mass grave in the city of Tarhouna in Libya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The Government of National Accord (GNA) says it uncovered 27 mass graves in the country since June. In 2015, the al-Kani militia, known as Kaniyat, took control of the town, where according to Human Rights Watch<\/a>, 2338 residents have been reported missing since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The al-Kani militia is supported by forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar, who is supported by countries such as the UAE, and by mercenaries such as the Wagner Group, which is made of mercenaries from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              According to Human Rights Watch, the militia often abducted, detained, tortured, killed, and disappeared people who opposed them or who were suspected of doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              To this end<\/strong>, we call on the European Union and the GNA to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              1. The GNA should investigate what happened to the missing residents.<\/li>
                                              2. The EU should provide forensics experts and conduct DNA testing to help with the GNA\u2019s gravesite investigations.<\/li>
                                              3. The EU should pressure parties to the conflict including countries that support them such as the UAE and mercenaries such as the Wagner Group to leave Libya immediately.<\/li>
                                              4. The EU should support political dialogue between Libyan parties to the conflict and make sure that those responsible for these crimes are held accountable.<\/li>
                                              5. Libyan warring parties should put the interests of their country first and end all forms of hostilities which would only increase civilian casualties.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                                     On Tuesday, corresponding to 17.11.2020,  Democracy Centre for Transparency hosted a webinar on Human Rights Situation in Egypt<\/strong>.
                                                     The webinar was attended by Mr. Fabio Massimo Castaldo, the vice president of the European Parliament, MS. Maria Laura Franciosi ,  the chair founder of Brussels press club and a journalist on European Affairs, Dr. Leslie Piquemal, Senior EU Advocacy representative at Cairo institution for human rights studies and Mr.Tarek Mahmoud, an Egyptian journalist and former head of the office of Egyptian news agency Mena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Mr.Castaldo started the briefing with some introductory remarks on the situation in Egypt. He also added \u201c since president Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi came to power in 2013, the human rights situation has deteriorated in  a catastrophic way, and this is also demonstrated by the wave of arrests following the protests of last fall against corruption in the government.
                                                     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     He mentioned that Cairo is an important partner for the European Union on the economic level , on the migration issue and for regional stability, and Europe can\u2019t stay silent , dialogue must be intensified to maintain good relations with Cairo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Tackling the issue of the political sphere and the public space closure in Egypt , Dr.Piquemal emphasized the rollback of democracy in Egypt which has increased and accelerated in 2018 during the president show election, in 2019 constitutional amendments, andin  2020 legislative elections which are still ongoing. All these events involved a very broad and general denial of citizenship righta to a free participation in public affairs. Added Ms. Piquemal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     She also referred to preventing candidates of opposition parties from organizing those own compsignes. Piquemal asserted that the constitutional amendments in 2019 were meant to extend Alsisi's time in power, to constitutionalize the executive authority to grant the military custadionshiip on Egyptian citizens and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     In  the context of frredom of expression,Ms. Maria Laura Franciosi confirmed that critisims is a genuine right in the press, condemning the closure of human rights websites in Egypt, and sending defenders behind bars. Ms. Maria strongly believe that the European Union does not seem to do much against the alarming situation of freedom of expression in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     \nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PKJ4vvSiSgE&feature=youtu.be\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Ms. Franciosi continued to catgorically deplore all forms of abuse against journalists and human rights defenders, remembering the brutal killing of the Italian journalist Giulio Regeni who was prepareing for his PH.D assertation. She ended with calling upon the European Union to act more firmly against these practices against freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     The seminar ended wirh the contribution of the Egyptian journalist Tarek Mahmoud who pointed out that the Egyptian authorities always accuse journalists and human rights defenders of international conspiracy against Egypt. Mr. Mahmoud reviewed that 90 journalists are in prison and 12 were killed since 2011, reminding when the journalist Regeni was tortured to death, and other 5 people paid the cost and there were killed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Mr. Mahmoud further said that Alsisi manipulates both Muslims and Christians, making them afraid of each other; Alsisi is playing the same game in Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Mr. Tarek lamented why the European Union is not spending adequate efforts to stop the unbearable situation in Egypt, warning of a dark future in continuation of violations against human rights in terms of impunity, forced disapprance, torture, and confiscation of basic rights.
                                                     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Die Kriegshandlungen um die Region Bergkarabach forderten bis zum Waffenstillstandsabkommen zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien Tausende Tote und Verletzte. Zehntausende Menschen sind auf der Flucht. Die Frage nach dem Status des Gebietes im S\u00fcdkaukasus heizt den Konflikt an. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist die Frage nur mit einem Blick in die Geschichte zu bewerten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Infolge der Oktoberrevolution wurde den zum ehemaligen Zarenreich geh\u00f6rigen Regionen das Austrittsrecht aus dem russischen Staatsverband gew\u00e4hrt. Sowohl Armenien als auch Aserbaidschan erkl\u00e4rten sich 1918 f\u00fcr unabh\u00e4ngig. Beide Nationen erhoben Anspruch auf Bergkarabach, das zu 90 Prozent armenisch bev\u00f6lkert war. Die K\u00e4mpfe um die Region wurden durch den Einmarsch der Roten Armee zwei Jahre sp\u00e4ter beendet. Armenien, Aserbaidschan und auch Bergkarabach wurden Teil der Sowjetunion. 1921 sprach Stalin Bergkarabach der aserbaidschanischen SSR zu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     Im Jahr 1988 trat Bergkarabach jedoch als Autonomes Gebiet Arzach aus Aserbaidschan aus. Dieser Akt l\u00f6ste erneute Unruhen und Vertreibungswellen aus. Verfechter des Autonomiebestrebens von Bergkarabach beziehen sich vor allem auf die Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitserkl\u00e4rung 1991. Am 3. September des Jahres erkl\u00e4rte die Region als Republik Bergkarabach nach Armenien und Aserbaidschan seine eigene Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit. Wieder kam es zu Kampfhandlungen in den Grenzgebieten. Aserbaidschan schaffte den autonomen Status Bergkarabachs wieder ab. Daraufhin fand am 10. Dezember 1991 ein Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitsreferendum statt, das allerdings von der aserbaidschanischen Bev\u00f6lkerung boykottiert wurde. Mit 99,89 Prozent der Stimmen wurde das Referendum zugunsten der Autonomie des Gebietes entschieden. Diese Entscheidung wurde allerdings weder von der UN noch von irgendeinem Einzelstaat anerkannt, die Bergkarabach weiterhin Aserbaidschan zurechnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                     W\u00e4hrend Bergkarabach auf sein Recht auf nationale Selbstbestimmung verweist, pocht Aserbaidschan auf seine territoriale Integrit\u00e4t. V\u00f6lkerrechtlich ist das Thema komplex. Der deutsche Rechtswissenschaftler und Jurist Otto Luchterhandt sieht die Bedeutung des Selbstbestimmungsrechts als h\u00f6herwertiger als das Recht auf territoriale Integrit\u00e4t: \u201e[Beim Bergkarabach-Konflikt] wird h\u00e4ufig gesagt, in den Medien, auch von V\u00f6lkerrechtlern, dass das Selbstbestimmungsrecht (der Bergkarabach-Armenier) gewisserma\u00dfen auf der einen Seite stehe, und auf der anderen Seite das von Aserbaidschan in Anspruch genommene Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t. Dies ist eine unrichtige Gegen\u00fcberstellung. Das Prinzip der territorialen Integrit\u00e4t ist kein selbstst\u00e4ndiges Prinzip der Charta der Vereinten Nationen, sondern es ist eingeordnet als ein Untergesichtspunkt, [\u2026] die territoriale Integrit\u00e4t hat eine untergeordnete Bedeutung.\u201c<\/p>\n","post_title":"Autonomie f\u00fcr Bergkarabach \u2013 wie steht das V\u00f6lkerrecht dazu?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"autonomie-fur-bergkarabach-wie-steht-das-volkerrecht-dazu","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-02 08:39:39","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-02 08:39:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dctransparency.com\/?p=3896","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
