  • Emergency Response UNCCD to Drought and Desertification in Belarus
    Emergency response UNCCD to drought and desertification in Belarus June 17, Belarus has widely observed the Desertification and Drought Day, a global event which commemorates the entering into force of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification back in 1996. Why land degradation and drought are important topics for Belarus? The warming and prolonged vegetative period caused by climate change bring new opportunities for agriculture, forestry and local people, but more it demonstrates the vulnerability of the land and the need for urgent actions to preserve land fertility. Where do you think these photos were taken? Photo Plytkevič: Arable lands in Gomel Region of Belarus affected by sands storms, April 2020 No, this is not African or Arabian Desert. This is the Republic of Belarus, a country in the center of Europe with a typical Сentral European climate and 40% forest-covered area. Belarusians gently name their country "blue -eyed " for a large number of lakes, more than 10,000. The impact of climate change has now reached Belarus which used to be safe and unharmed by desertification and drought. The average temperature in January 2020 was 1.1 degrees Celsius, which is 5.5 degrees Celsius above the climatic norm. This is the warmest January in the history of weather observations in the country.

The book contains political essays about people who are well known in Belarus and abroad and who had the most direct relevance to the contemporary history of Belarus over the last 15 to 20 years. The author not only recalls some biographical data but also analyses the role of each of them in the development of Belarus. And there is another very important point. The articles collected in this book were written at different times, so today some changes can be introduced to dates, facts and opinions but the author did not do this INTENTIONALLY. People are not less interested in what we thought yesterday than in what we think today. Information and Op-Ed Publication 84 823 © Aliaksandr Tamkovich, 2014 AUTHOR’S PROLOGUE Probably, it is already known to many of those who talked to the author "on tape" but I will reiterate this idea. I have two encyclopedias on my bookshelves. One was published before 1995 when many people were not in the position yet to take their place in the contemporary history of Belarus. The other one was made recently. The fi rst book was very modest and the second book was printed on classy coated paper and richly decorated with photos.

    Human Rights Centre “Viasna” SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS in BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Minsk, 2015 SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Author and compiler: Tatsiana Reviaka Editor and author of the foreword: Valiantsin Stefanovich The edition was prepared on the basis of reviews of human rights violations in Belarus published every month in 2014. Each of the monthly reviews includes an analysis of the most important events infl uencing the observance of human rights and outlines the most eloquent and characteristic facts of human rights abuses registered over the described period. The review was prepared on the basis of personal appeals of victims of human rights abuses and the facts which were either registered by human rights activists or reported by open informational sources. The book features photos from the archive of the Human Rights Center “Viasna”, as well as from publications on the websites of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty Belarus service, the Nasha Niva newspaper, tv.lrytas.lt, baj.by, gazetaby.com, and taken by Franak Viachorka and Siarhei Hudzilin. Human Rights Situation in 2014: Trends and Evaluation The situation of human rights during 2014 remained consistently poor with a tendency to deterioration at the end of the year. Human rights violations were of both systemic and systematic nature: basic civil and political rights were extremely restricted, there were no systemic changes in the fi eld of human rights (at the legislative level and (or) at the level of practices). The only positive development during the year was the early release of Ales Bialiatski, Chairman of the Human Rights Centre “Viasna” and Vice-President of the International Federation for Human Rights.
