In view of the upcoming #HumanRightsDay2025 Ambassador David Červenka hosted a symbolic human rights breakfast with Norwegian human rights defenders and civil society partners. Highly interesting discussion about ongoing 🇨🇿🇳🇴 cooperation and future human rights projects within the @EEANorwayGrants and beyond.
#OTD Czech diplomats worldwide commemorate President Mitterrand's legendary breakfast with Czech dissent of December 8, 1988 and honour human rights defenders for their tireless work. The work of civil society and human rights defenders remains as relevant as ever.

Arendal for de spesielt interesserte og på sitt mest interessante. Hvordan skapte Helsingforserklæringen i 1975 en demokratisk revolusjon på åttitallet. Hvordan kan den anvendes til å bygge fred og sikkerhet i dag?@josteinhk @EspenBarthEide @LindemanBerit
Et beryktet parlamentsmedlem -Andrei Lugovoi- har bedt om at Helsingforskomitéen blir er uønsket i Russland:

🇳🇴🇺🇦I am currently on a working visit to Norway — a country that has consistently supported us since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. I am sincerely grateful for that. I held a series of meetings focused on key humanitarian issues.
▪️Meeting with @EivindVP, the State Secretary for the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs. I expressed gratitude for Norway’s co-chairmanship of the Working Group on the return of Ukrainians. We discussed further steps in this direction.
▪️Meeting with the Norwegian Parliament’s delegation to the @PACE_News, led by @ingjerd_schou. I emphasized the need to pressure Russia to grant international organizations access to the locations where Ukrainian children are being held in Russia or in temporarily occupied territories.
▪️Meeting with representatives of @save_children Norway, led by @HenrietteKWesth. I outlined the scale of violations committed by Russia against the basic rights of Ukrainian children. We discussed the potential role of the organization in helping return deported children.
▪️Meeting with @CecilieHellest1, the Special Advisor of the NIM (@NorwayUN), @LindemanBerit, the Secretary General of the @nhc_no, and @olaulmo, representative of the @rodekorsnorge. Among other topics, we discussed ways to strengthen cooperation in the field of human rights protection.
☝️Norway is a reliable friend of Ukraine in the fight for justice. Our cooperation must only grow stronger. Effective international support is what saves lives.

Kan en professor som følger Ukraina-krigen tett, i god tro benekte de russiske forbrytelsene i Butsja slik Glenn Diesen gjør i Klassekampen i går? Etter min mening er dette et eksempel på at Diesen ikke er en etterrettelig og sannhetssøkende debattant, men talerør for Kreml 1/

For once, albeit accidentally, Putin has told the truth: long-term peace in Ukraine is only possible by “eliminating the root causes of this crisis.”
The main “root cause” is an old deranged KGB officer in the Kremlin who views the collapse of the Soviet empire as “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century”, calls his opponents “national traitors” and Ukraine “an artificial state”, and idolizes Stalin and Andropov.
Without “eliminating” this “root cause” there will not be peace not only in Ukraine, but in Europe as a whole.

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.
But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

Packed room at @oscepa event on “Confronting political imprisonment”.
As Ukraine ceasefire talks get underway, it is imperative that any deal provides for the release of ALL captives of this war: POWs, Ukrainian civilian hostages, abducted Ukrainian children, and Russian political prisoners jailed for their antiwar position.
People’s lives must be a priority.

Jeg slutter meg til denne, og høyner med en tekst @LindemanBerit og jeg skrev om dette der vi understreker at Norge har et handlingsrom eg en historisk mulighet til å trygge Ukrainas og vår egen sikkerhet (lenke i neste post)
Et europeisk land står i fare for å bli delt mellom en despot og en aspirerende despot. Norge er en militær miniputt, men en økonomisk gigant. Vi kan være motvekten. Hvis ikke oljefondet er til situasjoner som dette, hvilke da? Skrev denne i desember: itromso.no/meninger/i/0VbM4g…

X has become an arena of hate and disinformation. Twitter, as we knew it, no longer exists. That's why we, as a human rights organisation, have decided to stop posting on X. But fear not! Follow nhcno on #Bluesky where we continue fighting for human rights and democracy

Mottrekket til regimet er å prøve å gå etter ledende skikkelser i protestene i Tbilisi, slik som her hvor en blogger anholdes (kidnappes) etter å ha levert datteren i barnehagen. Men det er ikke enkelt når protestene er spontane og uttrykk for grasrotas frustrasjon

Jon Erik Høgberg og Berit Nising Lindeman skriver i dette debattinnlegget at «Transparency International Norge påpekte i et møte at Norge har lite å lære Ukraina på dette området, og heller trenger Ukrainas tips til bevisstgjøring om korrupsjon.»

Germany, France, Belgium and the EU should release the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets and give it to Ukraine, now. Don't wait.

Det er bare å like @SVparti sitt alternative statsbudsjett!
Bravo!! @SVparti priorterer #menneskerettigheter og #sivilsamfunn i sitt alternative #statsbudsjett og vil bidra mer til et hardt prøvet sivilsamfunn i Russland og til naboland som er under press. Vi hyller økningen til 5000 kvoteflyktninger @ingridfiskaa

Now that Trump has been elected, US military aid for Ukraine will soon dry up. If we have any intention of not letting Putin win, the EU and UK must now seize the $300 billion of Russian central bank reserves and use that money to support Ukraine. cepa.org/article/seizures-kr…
Dette støtter jeg helhjertet! Vi har bedt om en tredobling fra foreslått budsjett - forslaget fra @gurimelby kan være veien å gå for en reell og gedigen økning i vår støtte til Ukraina!
Ukraina 🇺🇦 kjemper for sin egen og vår frihet mot en brutal russisk krigsmaskin som stadig rykker framover. Ukrainske soldater mangler våpen og ammunisjon og Norge bør øke støtten kraftig. Vi har invitert de andre partiene om å gjøre nettopp dette: aftenposten.no/norge/politik…
Bold and very welcome move from @NorwayMFA! Israel must be brought to abide by international law and order. Gaza is in dire need of humanitarian aid. Stop bombing Gaza.
UNRWA must survive.
No country is above international law.
Norway is initiating a UN resolution asking the International Court of Justice to clarify Israel's legal obligations to ensure that aid reaches Palestinians. regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/no…
