  • The Barcelona Guidelines on Wellbeing and Temporary International Relocation of Human Rights Defenders at Risk
    The Barcelona Guidelines on Wellbeing and Temporary International Relocation of Human Rights Defenders at Risk A PUBLICATION MADE IN COLLABORATION WITH: Martin Roth Initiative The Barcelona Guidelines on Wellbeing and Temporary International Relocation of Human Rights Defenders at Risk 1 The guidelines are available in multiple languages at hrdhub.org/wellbeing 2 Introduction 1. According to the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders,1 the right and responsibility to defend human rights belongs to us all. We are human rights defenders when we promote and strive for the protection and realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms, whether we do so individually or with others. In the words of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders: “Human rights defenders do not heroically stand in front of or apart from the rest of us; they are each of us and among us, they are ourselves, our parents, our siblings, our neighbours, our friends and colleagues, and our children”.2 Human rights defenders come from diverse backgrounds and can include artists, teachers, journalists, therapists, writers, lawyers, trade unionists, indigenous communities, LGBTIQA+ persons, families of the disappeared, civil servants, parliamentarians, judges, and workers in non-governmental organisations. 2. Defending human rights involves challenging powerful interests and – all too often – suffering the risk of your own human rights being violated. We are alarmed that defenders in a growing number of countries face a range of threats and attacks by State and non-State actors. Since the adoption of the Declaration, thousands of defenders have lost their lives in the defence of human rights.3 Many more have had their freedoms restricted and their voices suppressed; they have suffered surveillance, criminalisation and stigmatisation.

  • Espon “Siesta” Project: Second Workshop with Regional Stakeholders in Bucharest
    ESPON “SIESTA” PROJECT: SECOND WORKSHOP WITH REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS IN BUCHAREST The Management Team of the Siesta project , in collaboration with the research group of CICADIT (Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Research on Territorial Dynamics of the University of Bucharest), is organizing the Second Workshop with Regional Stakeholders . The event will take place on the next 25 of June in Bucharest , in the building of the Ministry for Regional Development and Tourism. SIESTA - Spatial Indicators for a “Europe 2020 Strategy Territorial Analysis (www.siestaproject.eu ) is a project financed by the European Union in the framework of ESPON, the European Observation Network for Territorial Development and Cohesion (www.espon.eu ) . The project is leaded by the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and involves other seven academic and research partners coming from six different European countries: France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Romania.. The main aim of ESPON Programme is to support policy development in relation to the territorial cohesion and a harmonious development of the European territory. It finances, among others, applied research on different themes of European territorial dynamics, in order to assess strength and weaknesses of regions and cities and provide scientifically solid facts and evidence at that level. The specific objective of SIESTA project is to provide evidence on the territorial dimension of the “EU2020 Strategy” , by identifying opportunities for different types of regions in relation to the targets and flagship initiatives set out in the Strategy. The results of this ESPON project are intended to be useful for policy makers at various scales (especially at regional and local level) in the process of planning and identifying territorial interventions.
