AS/Ega (2018) PV 07 add. 14 December 2018 Original: English Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination Minutes of the joint hearing on “Protecting the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities with regard to involuntary measures in psychiatry”, held in Strasbourg, on 9 October 2018, from 8.30 to 10 am Mr Schennach, Chairperson of the Committee Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development opened the meeting, welcoming members of the two committees and the distinguished guests who had accepted to participate in the hearing. He set the background for the hearing: in its Recommendation 2091 (2016), the Assembly had asked the Committee of Ministers to instruct the Committee on Bioethics to withdraw the proposal to draw up an Additional Protocol to the Oviedo Convention concerning the protection of human rights and dignity of persons with mental disorder with regard to involuntary placement and involuntary treatment, which was at the time at the initial stage of drafting. The drafting process had, however, continued. The Assembly was now being consulted on the draft Additional Protocol in the context of an informal procedure. This hearing would provide food for thought for the comments to be prepared by the Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development and the Committee on Equality and Non- Discrimination. Ms Ioan, Chairperson of the Council of Europe Committee on Bioethics (DH-BIO) explained that the draft Additional Protocol was needed due to legal gaps in certain member states regarding measures for involuntary placement or treatment, and the increasing number of human rights violations found by the European Court of Human Rights in this field.

Mr Givi Javashvili, Chairman of the National Council on Bioethics; Professor and Head of the Family Medicine Department of Tbilisi State Medical University (Georgia), was delayed due to the public transport strike, and arrived later on during the exchange of views. Mr Sánchez Ibáñez pointed out that tissue and cell donations played an important role in health care, research and the pharmaceutical industry. One donor could improve up to 100 lives. An absence of financial gain was paramount. The only area where profits were allowed was the production of medicinal products, because developing such products involved extensive manipulation and was very costly. Donors should give explicit consent for this type of use. In other areas, prices should reflect the operational costs of the tissue establishments, and there should be no profit.

But we are united by a common conviction: that corruption is now the single greatest threat to the development of societies, to the security of nations, and to the rights of all mankind. During the fourteen years that GOPAC has been leading the fight against corruption, that conviction has become part of the global consensus. The UN Development Programme now estimates that the developing world loses €10 to corruption for every €1 it receives in official aid. GOPAC estimates that corruption now kills more people than war and famine combined. And the UN’s new Sustainable Development Goals now include Goal 16, which acknowledges that nations must combat corruption as a precondition to achieving social and economic development. We believe that the solution to corruption is simple to describe, though difficult to achieve: a vigilant, relentless, and fearless community of parliamentarians, standing between our leaders and the levers of power.

Subvencionisani krediti slabe dinar Subvencionisani dinarski krediti za gra ñane ne će doprineti ostvarivanju ciljeva ekonomske politike u ovoj godini, niti će postaviti osnove za novi model ravnoteže privrednog razvoja Srbije, ocenio je Stojan Stamenkovi ć. Prema njegovim re čima, ponovno prebacivanje težišta ekonomske politike na potrošnju izuzetno je štetno. - U fokusu vlade trebalo bi da bude podsticanje investicija, a ne teku će potrošnje. Osim toga, iako su krediti namenjeni kupovini doma će robe, usled visoke izvozne zavisnosti proizvo ñača, eventualno ve ća proizvodnja zna čila bi i ve ći uvoz. Deo gotovinskih kredita će biti utrošen za turisti čka putovanja u inostranstvo i kupovinu deviza, što je ekvivalentno uvozu robe - ukazao je Stamenkovi ć i naglasio da su efekti subvencionisanih kredita za gra ñane na industrijsku proizvodnju i privredni rast "u najmanju ruku neizvesni". U slu čaju realizacije planiranih potroša čkih kredita, tražnja se može raspršiti na razli čite proizvode, pa je teško o čekivati znatan impuls novoj proizvodnji i upošljavanju kapaciteta, napomenuo je Stamenkovi ć.

  • The Serbian Orthodox Church in Serbia's Raška After 2000
    Südosteuropa 61 (2013), H. 3, S. 432-452 OPEN ISSUES OF DECENTRALISATION IN SERBIA ALEKSANDER ZDRAVKOVSKI New Ecclesiastical (Dis)order: The Serbian Orthodox Church in Serbia’s Raška after 2000 Abstract. The contemporary confl icts in the Balkans have brought about a genuine growth of religiosity among the people and increased the importance of spiritual organizations. The Serbian Orthodox Church and its leaders closely cooperated with the political parties and governments of both the left and the right. This article surveys the career of Bishop Filaret who is the head of the Mileševa see. It aims to provide evidence that this cleric was able to retain a powerful position in post–Milošević Serbia even though he had been very close to that regime during the 1990’s. Lastly, the analysis will illustrate the negative consequences of the fusion of politics and religion in this part of South-eastern Europe. Ale ksander Zdravkovski is a PhD Candidate at the Department of Sociology and Political Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim. Introduction The end of the twentieth century was marked by a revitalization of religiosity among the peoples of the Balkans. In Serbia, nationalist ideology became preva- lent and was frequently accompanied by a zealous and aggressive manifestation of new political muscle by certain ecclesiastic hierarchs. The Serbian Orthodox Church1 (SPC) is an organization that is prone to corruption, controversies and perilous political manipulations. The activities of the ecclesiastic representatives have created obstacles to the process of building a civic and inclusive society in Serbia. Nevertheless, the Orthodox Church is presently one of the most trusted institutions in Serbia.

WIP is an independent, international and post-partisan foundation established with the purpose of advancing society by building a network between Women in Parliaments. Elected political decision-makers have a unique perspective on the issues relevant to people, as they are in permanent direct exchange with their electorate. Parliamentarians have privileged insight into, and influence on legislative issues as a result of continuous contact and exchange with their electorate and stakeholders. Women need three things to fulfil their potential: communication, connection, community. At WIP, optimizing the power of communication and connection builds new communities of support for women in politics everywhere. Co-funded by Co-hosted by Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2.
