Редакция: Дискриминация это неправильно! Многообразие должно приветствоваться!

От редакции

17 мая - Международный день борьбы с гомофобией и трансфобией (IDAHO). Этот день отмечают по-разному в странах ЕС и в других частях мира. В Европе отношение к ЛГБТ сообществу резко изменилось за последние годы. 71% граждан ЕС согласны с тем, что люди ЛГБТ сообщества должны обладать теми же правами, что и гетеросексуалы, согласно исследованию Европейского агентства по основным правам (2013). Радужные цвета гей-движения отражались на здании Европейской комиссии в Брюсселе, чтобы отметить этот день. Посольства ЕС во многих странах 17 мая также вывесили флаг радуги.

Это день помогает подчеркнуть о серьезных проблемах дискриминации в отношении гей-сообщества на Кавказе, в Евразии и за ее пределами, где сексуальные меньшинства по-прежнему подвержены всяким преследованиям и дискриминации.

В этом году в Тбилиси снова наблюдались презренные сцены, где правые группы угрожали сорвать день IDAHO, которое в конечном итоге было отменен организаторами, чтобы избежать возможного насилия.

Грузинское правительство и более широко грузинское общество должны быть более настойчивыми в обеспечении прав сексуальных меньшинств, и международное сообщество должно держать этот вопрос в своей повестке дня с Грузией. Грузинские правоохранители также должны действовать оперативно и решительно в отношениях с крайне правыми экстремистами, которые явно используют угрозу насилия, чтобы задушить свободу слова и право на мирный протест.

Дискриминация это неправильно! Многообразие должно приветствоваться, а не преследоваться!

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
