ADALET ve HESAP VEREBİLİRLİK ARAYIŞI: HAK İHLALLERİ ve ARAP İSYANLARI
Bugün Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika’da meydana gelen gelişmeler, farklılığın olduğu bir bölgenin tamamında insan hakları ve demokratikleşme için baskı kurulması konusunda benzeri görülmemiş bir fırsat sunuyor. Tunus’tan Bahreyn’e kadar olan bölgede daha fazla özgürlük ve demokrasi için ortaya çıkan talep, uzun yıllar süren gayrimeşrubaskı rejimlerinin ve otoriter yönetimlerin sona ermesi ya da reformları desteklemesi yönünde bir değişim imkânı sunuyor. İnsan haklarının kurulacak siyasi düzenin merkezinde önemli bir yer teşkil etmesini sağlamak için, bölgedeki yeni rejimlerin ve muhalif hareketlerin,hâlihazırda işledikleri ya da gelecekte işleyebilecekleri ihlaller karşısında sorumlu tutulmalarıson derece önemlidir.
SETA, göstericilere karşı acımasız önlemlere son vermesi için yapılan çağrılara kulaklarını tıkayan Suriye gibi rejimleri etkilemek ve insan haklarını desteklemek için yapılan girişimleri ve dış politika oluşumunda insan haklarının yerini/rolünü tartışmak üzere, alanında uzman iki saygın konuşmacının yer aldığı bir konferans düzenlemektedir.
İnsan Hakları İzleme Örgütü’nden Jan EgelandveJoe Stork’unkonuşmacı olarak yer aldığı konferansa davetlisiniz.

PUBLICLECTURESEEKING JUSTICE and ACCOUNTABILITY: RIGHTS ABUSES AND THE ARAB UPRISINGS
Date/Time: October 25, 2011 Tuesday / 11.00-13.00 pm
Venue: SETA, Ankara Hall, ANKARA
Chair: YılmazEnsaroğlu,Director, SETALaw & Human Rights Research
Speakers: Jan Egeland, Deputy Executive Director,Human Rights Watch, Europe
Joe Stork,Deputy Director, Human Rights Watch, Middle East and North Africa
The upheavals and transformations in the Middle East and North Africa today offer an unprecedented opportunity to press for human rights and democratization across a region of great diversity. From Tunisia to Bahrain, the popular impulse for greater freedom and democracy offers the chance to end many years of authoritarian rule and press regimes lacking legitimacy or support to reform or die. One important way to make respect for rights central to the process of political transformation is to demand that state officials are held accountable for violations such as torture, arbitrary arrest and killings against their own populations. In order to demonstrate that human rights will be central to the new political order, it will be equally important to hold new regimes across the region and opposition movements accountable for violations they may commit in the future or have already committed.
SETA will arrange a public lecture to discuss human rights in foreign policy making, and efforts to advocate for human rights and influence regimes like that in Syria which has turned a deaf ear to calls to end the brutal clampdown on demonstrators. Two distinguished persons, Joe Stork and Jan Egeland, which are experts on human rights, Middle East and situations of emergency, humanitarian crisis and conflict resolution, will be the speakers of public lecture.
SETA invites you to attend a public lecture by Joe Storkand Jan Egelandof Human Rights Watch. We very much hope you will be able to attend this special public lecture.
Sincerely,
SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research
