OMBUDSMAN LEFT FOR STRASBURG

On the invitation of the Director of the COE Ombudsman Committee Pierre
Henry Imberg, RA Ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan left for Strasburg to take
part in the international seminar `Defense of Human Rights during the Combat
Against Terrorism’. From the 46 member countries of COE only 30 experts have
received the invitation to take part in the seminar organized by the COE.

While discussing the main issue – observation of the defense of human rights
on the contest of the combat against terrorism, two documents are to be
discussed – `Principles of Regulating the Fields of the Human Rights and
Combat Against Terrorism’ and `Protection of the Victims of Terror’ which
were adopted by the COE in July 2002 and March 2005 respectively.

The possibility of experience exchange of national institutions in this
field and the issues of giving aid to the victims of terror will also be at
the center of the European experts’ attention.

The further activity of the COE in connection with the successful experience
realized by its member countries will also be discussed.
