Kindly RSVP to chrlp.law [at] mcgill.ca.\n\nAb stract: Moldova has signed and ratified numerous regional and internationa l human rights instruments\, which have a direct applicability at the dome stic level. This has led to the adoption of some of the most progressive ( in theory) national laws and human rights protection tools.\n \n Moldova’s f inancial dependence on external funders has some beneficial impact on the decision making process of the Moldovan authorities and\, as such\, an imp act on human rights\, but having weak public institutions deeply affected by corruption and lacking in independence\, leaves few legal protection op tions for civil society.\n \n For Moldova\, formerly of the USSR and the poo rest country in Eastern Europe\, the promotion of human rights constitutes many challenges and multiple opportunities simultaneously\, giving civil society activists a chance to apply the most creative and innovative lobby ing and advocacy techniques - an experience that can be applied in many co untries.\n\nAbout the speaker: Nadia Lefter\, specialized in social and ec onomic rights\, has worked in various international organizations in Moldo va\, like: United Nations Development Programme\, International Organizati on for Migration\, Amnesty International Moldova and others.\n DTSTART:20160222T180000Z DTEND:20160222T193000Z LOCATION:NCDH 609\, Chancellor Day Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W9\, 36 44 rue Peel SUMMARY:Human Rights Advocacy in Moldova - Challenges\, Opportunities and C reative Lobbying URL:/law/channels/event/human-rights-advocacy-moldova- challenges-opportunities-and-creative-lobbying-258553 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
