Belarus PROJECT DOCUMENT United Nations Development Programme Country: Belarus PROJECT DOCUMENT Project Title: Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation into Territorial Planning Policies and Practices UNDP Strategic Plan Environment and Sustainable Development Primary Outcome: Mainstreaming environment and energy Expected CP Outcome(s)/Indicator(s): Programme Component 3: Environmental Sustainability; Outcome 11: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, protected areas and other commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity and other multilateral environmental agreements integrated into national governance and production systems (including social, economic and policy frameworks such as MDGs, NSSEDS and key sectors such as agriculture, forestry, energy, and flood control) Expected CPAP Output(s)/Indicator(s): Protected areas, hectares Implementing partner: Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (MNREP) Brief Description The project objective is to mainstream biodiversity conservation priorities into Belarus’ territorial planning policies and practices. The project will remove systemic, regulatory and knowledge barriers to mainstreaming biodiversity conservation into territorial planning. The objective will be achieved through two outcomes: i) Enabling regulatory, policy and institutional framework for land-use planning that reflects biodiversity considerations outside protected areas, and ii) Tested models for development and enforcement of biodiversity-compatible land-use plans at the district levels. The immediate global biodiversity benefits include enhanced ecosystem integrity outside PAs in 10 administrative districts (approximately 2 million hectares). In the long-term, taking into account the sought replication effect, the project will ensure the long-term integrity of fragile ecosystems over 36% of the country.

    REVIEW-CHRONICLE OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN BELARUS IN 1999 2 REVIEW-CHRONICLE OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN BELARUS IN 1999 INTRODUCTION: GENERAL CONCLUSIONS The year of 1999 was the last year of Alexander Lukashenka’s original mandate. In 1994 having used the machinery of democratic procedure he was elected president of the Republic of Belarus for five years term. But in 1996 A.Lukashenka conducted illegal, non-free and unfair referendum and by it prolonged his mandate to seven years. Constitutional Court’s judges and deputies of the Supreme Soviet that resisted to A.Lukashenka’s dictatorial intentions were dismissed. Thus provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus were broken. Attempt to conduct presidential elections done by the legitimate Supreme Soviet of the 13th convocation was supported by the most influential opposition parties and movements. But Belarusan authorities did their best to prevent opposition from succeeding in presidential elections and subjected people involved in election campaign to different kinds of repressions. Regime didn’t balk at anything in the struggle with its opponents. Detentions and arrests, persecutions of its organisers and participants, warnings, penalties and imprisonment followed every opposition-organised action… Yet the year of 1999 became a year of mass actions of protest of Belarusan people against a union with Russia imposed by the authorities to the people. In 1999 the OSCE Advisory and Monitoring Group in Belarus made an attempt to arrange talks between Belarusan authorities and opposition. This year will go down to history as a year when some of prominent politicians and fighters against the regime disappeared, when unprecedented number of criminal proceedings against opposition leaders and participants of mass actions of protest was instituted..

But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis.

Despite of some positive changes at the end of one year, the most important problems in the sphere of mass media (economic discredit of independent editions, discrepancy of legislation in the sphere of mass media to democratic standards, restrictions of access to information) have not been resolved. The first months of 2008 have been especially worrying. On January 18 deputy chief editor of the newspaper "Zhoda" Aliaksandr Zdvizhkou was sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment for «kindling of religious enmity» (Part 2, Article 130 of the Criminal Code). The newspaper was closed back in 2006 following the suit of the Ministry of information for reprinting some of the Danish caricatures featuring prophet Mohammad.
