About the Review of Trends
This review will highlight the substantive changes in Belarusian public policy in the field of human rights and reactions to it of the international community in three areas:
- general measures: systemic things — legislation, strategies, policies, that generally determine the conditions and background for the implementation of human rights in Belarus;
- law enforcement practice: concrete violations of civil and political rights, as well as in the field of social, economic, and cultural rights;
- key decisions and reactions of international institutions regarding the situation with human rights in Belarus.
Our analytics is for a better understanding of the trends and situation with human rights in Belarus and for the possibility of monitoring systemic and essential changes, as well as for expanding the human rights focus in related expert spheres (economic, political, social, etc.). It also can be used for justification of positions, opinions, policies, and strategies.
May — August 2024
As of more than halfway through 2024, there has been no significant surge in the legalization of repressions. The state, like a crocodile that «bit off» a large chunk of rights and freedoms in 2023, is now «digesting» it, focusing on making necessary changes to lower-level regulations and expanding the range of illegal practices.
In the image generated by Shutterstock.AI, the crocodile appears relaxed, but in reality, it remains dangerous for everyone.
Of course, the metaphor simplifies the reality. Learn about all the trends at trends.belhelcom.org.
