  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.

  • Freedom of Expression in a Religious Context
    Table of Contents Freedom of expression in a religious context Conscientious objection to military service: Jehovah’s Witnesses win their case Large fine amid continuing religious censorship Censorship case to join 41 other ECtHR cases? Appeal court upholds couple's massive fines Appeals fail against illegal raids, fines Book censorship appeal still in Supreme Court As hijab spreads in Azerbaijan, covered women complain they can’t find jobs Current situation of Jehovah’s Witnesses Freedom of expression in a religious context Conviction of author and editor for article’s remarks on Islam was excessive, breached their freedom of expression Registrar of the European Court (05.12.2019) - www.echr.coe.int - In today’s Chamber judgment in the case of Tagiyev and Huseynov v. Azerbaijan (application no. 13274/08) the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been a violation of Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The case concerned the applicants’ conviction for inciting religious hatred and hostility with their remarks on Islam in an article they had published in 2006. The Court found in particular that the national courts had not justified why the applicants’ conviction had been necessary when the article had clearly only been comparing Western and Eastern values, and had contributed to a debate on a matter of public interest, namely the role of religion in society. Indeed, the courts had simply endorsed a report finding that certain remarks had amounted to incitement to religious hatred and hostility, without putting them in context or even trying to balance the applicants’ right to impart to the public their views on religion against the right of religious people to respect for their beliefs.

  • 'The Fire-Tears of Love'
    ‘The Fire-Tears of Love’ written by Damian Gromala note: story was created in frameworks of ‘Ganja 2016 in the Stories of Young European Writers’ project held in Ganja, Azerbaijan; 25-30 November 2015 One day, Farid – a man from Baku, luxurious jewelry brand manager - was delegated to Ganja city to make a new contract with local jewelry producer. Leyli – a girl from Ganja - as always in the noon went to bazaar to sell homemade products. That day, Farid had a meeting with the aforementioned producer. On the way to the meeting spot went through the bazaar. Suddenly, Farid saw ‘mysterious girl’ – her hair and lips were covered by veil. He was really intrigued about her eyes – deep brown, almost dark. On the way back he guessed to meet her again. He did it. Their eyes meet, but only for a fleeting moment - Leyli was embarrassed and immediately ran away from her stall. But she had left one thing – her diary. Next day, Farid decided to go back to the bazaar and return the forgotten thing – but unfortunately he didn’t meet the girl again. That was the end of his delegation to Ganja. He went back to Baku, but thought about ‘mysterious girl’ surfaced to him again and again. A few days later, in his luxury apartment in Baku, after a long thoughts, he finally decided to open and read the book. First sentence in the diary read as follow: ‘I’m a poor girl from Ganja city in Azerbaijan. I have no chance for better life.’ Man was surprised that the beginning sounds so sad and depressive.
