Представитель БДИПЧ:

Краеугольным камнем в избирательном процессе является право народа выбрать своих лидеров, и это должно быть обеспечено законодательством. Об этом заявил первый заместитель директора Бюро по демократическим выборам и правам человека (БДИПЧ) Дуглас Вейк (Douglas Wake), выступая 11 ноября в Ереване на конференции «Восточное партнерство: национальная и европейская динамики».

«Тем не менее, нам не кажется, что законодательство должно подвергаться изменениям непосредственно перед выборами. Это не приоритетная задача, работу над законодательством нужно делать загодя. Акцент должен быть поставлен на том, чтобы власти проявили волю к проведению выборов в соответствии с существующим законодательством. Кроме того, необходимо обеспечить активное вовлечение гражданского общества, что будет способствовать прозрачности избирательных процессов», - отметил представитель БДИПЧ.

Он подчеркнул также о необходимости создать соответствующую атмосферу для проведения избирательных кампаний, а также обеспечить СМИ условиями для свободного функционирования. Вейк отметил также роль международных организации в деле мониторинга за выборами, подчеркнув, что ключевым в исходе выборов все же остается политическая воля в том, чтобы гражданское общество смогло сделать свой свободный выбор.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides.
