Democracy and Human rights: current challenges in post-soviet countries (Dissent, Responsibility and Human Rights)

An international conference bringing together human rights defenders, scholars, artists, and diaspora voices to examine contemporary threats to democracy, civic resilience, and human dignity across the post-Soviet region.

It addresses urgent challenges from authoritarian backsliding to war and forced displacement, while probing the role of European institutions, questions of historical responsibility, and the possibilities of transnational solidarity.

The program also asks how democratic values are being eroded not only within the region, but at times by democracies that ought to serve as safe harbors.

Key speakers: Isabel Wiseler-Lima (Member of the European Parliament), Alessandro Morini (ex-president Amnesty International), Alyona Vandysheva (CEO of Transparency International Russia), Christina Fabian (ACAT-Luxembourg), Anna Kuleshova (LuxEureka), Andrey Kordochkin (PhD University of Durham, ortodox priest, researcher).

Co-organized by LuxEureka and ACAT-Luxembourg.

Hosted at the European Parliament.
