XI-IATI-EC_FPI-2021-ACT-60457European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsThis 18-month measure will, under a first component, provide support to the efforts of the Belarusian democratic movement to prepare for constitutional and electoral reform. This will include assistance for stakeholder consultations and for constitutional expertise. In a second component, the measure will help establish the International Accountability Platform for Belarus with a view to enable in-depth, transparent and impartial investigations into allegations of serious human rights violations in line with the recommendations made in November 2020 by the OSCE rapporteur, appointed by 17 OSCE participating States under the Moscow Mechanism. The Platform will build on the ongoing efforts to document human rights violations. Bringing together high-level expertise from a consortium of Belarusian and international non-governmental organisations, the Platform will enhance the quality and completeness of the documentation. The aim is to generate a body of impartial evidence to provide a basis for criminal investigations in accordance with international law standards. Through its two components, the measure will help prepare a basis for a peaceful and democratic transition once the circumstances allow and contribute to the global fight against impunity.European CommissionDonor country-based NGOService for Foreign Policy InstrumentsPlanned Start: 2021-07-26Actual Start: 2021-07-26Planned End: 2025-04-20FPIEC - Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI)+32 2 584 11 11fpi-info@ec.europa.euhttps://fpi.ec.europa.eu/index_enEEAS Building, Rond-Point Schuman 9A, 1046, Brussels, BelgiumBelarusBYBelarusCivilian peace-building, conflict prevention and resolutionWomen's rights organisations and movements, and government institutionsDemocratic participation and civil societySDG 16: Peace and Justice Strong InstitutionsSDG 05: Gender EqualitySDG 17: Partnerships to achieve the GoalGender EqualityAid to EnvironmentParticipatory Development/Good GovernanceAid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention on Biological DiversityAid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - MitigationAid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - AdaptationAid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention to Combat DesertificationReproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH)Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR)DisabilityNutrition1000000European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsThe conditions for implementation are outlined in the document.XI-IATI-EC_FPI-2020-ACT-D-42962-00European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsThis action maintains and further builds the capacity of civil society stakeholders to proactively engage in dialogue, to provide mutual support in a spirit of solidarity, and to address major democratic and socio-economic shortcomings.European CommissionDeveloping country-based NGOService for Foreign Policy InstrumentsPlanned Start: 2020-11-27Actual Start: 2020-11-27Planned End: 2023-12-31FPIEC - Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI)+32 2 584 11 11fpi-info@ec.europa.euhttps://fpi.ec.europa.eu/index_enEEAS Building, Rond-Point Schuman 9A, 1046, Brussels, BelgiumBelarusBYBelarusCivilian peace-building, conflict prevention and resolutionSDG 16: Peace and Justice Strong InstitutionsSDG 17: Partnerships to achieve the GoalGender EqualityAid to EnvironmentParticipatory Development/Good GovernanceAid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention on Biological DiversityAid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - MitigationAid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - AdaptationAid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention to Combat DesertificationReproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH)Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR)DisabilityNutrition1000000European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsThe conditions for implementation are outlined in the document.XI-IATI-EC_FPI-2022-ACT-60611European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsFollowing the fraudulent 2020 presidential elections in Belarus, months of repression have forced thousands of pro-democratic citizens into exile and further reduced the space for civic action inside the country. This exceptional assistance measure aims to continue, and further enhance, EU support to local efforts in the fields on civic activism and political participation among Belarusian citizens as well as to citizen resilience in the current political landscape. This may include support for activities related to pro-democracy dialogue, citizen engagement and activism, including in the socio-economic sphere, as well as support to the wider pro-democracy movement and to Belarusian civil society actors, including at community level. The action complements already ongoing and upcoming EU support regarding the protection of victims of state violence and in support of independent media.European CommissionNON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS (NGOs) AND CIVIL SOCIETYService for Foreign Policy InstrumentsPlanned Start: 2022-03-21Actual Start: 2022-03-21Planned End: 2027-10-20FPIEC - Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI)+32 2 584 11 11fpi-info@ec.europa.euhttps://fpi.ec.europa.eu/index_enEEAS Building, Rond-Point Schuman 9A, 1046, Brussels, BelgiumBelarusBYBelarusCivilian peace-building, conflict prevention and resolutionSDG 16: Peace and Justice Strong InstitutionsSDG 05: Gender EqualityGender EqualityAid to EnvironmentParticipatory Development/Good GovernanceAid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention on Biological DiversityAid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - MitigationAid Targeting the Objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change - AdaptationAid Targeting the Objectives of the Convention to Combat DesertificationReproductive, Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH)Disaster Risk Reduction(DRR)DisabilityNutrition2700000European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy Instruments2000000European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsThe conditions for implementation are outlined in the document.XI-IATI-EC_FPI-2022-ACT-61328European Commission - Service for Foreign Policy InstrumentsThe fraudulent presidential election in Belarus in August 2020 set in motion a wave of demonstrations, which were violently repressed by the authorities. Since then, the Lukashenko regime has further intensified repressive means against any form of opposition. This has included criminalising participation in the activities of any of the 309 forcefully liquidated civil society organisations, as well as continued arbitrary arrests, detention and prosecution on administrative and criminal charges. The question of political prisoners therefore remains critical in Belarus with a significant number of men and women imprisoned on political charges as of 1 March 2022. At the same time, given the scale of the atrocities in Ukraine, international attention on the crisis in Belarus is waning, and the crimes that are being committed risk going unaccounted for.Since its creation in 2021, the EU has supported the International Accountability Platform for Belarus (IAPFB) in its efforts of independent collection, verification and preservation of documentation and evidence of serious human rights violations committed in Belarus during and in the follow-up of the fraudulent 2020 presidential elections. At the time of the creation of the IAPFB, the EU also successfully presented a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council that established a robust mechanism to document reported international crimes in Belarus under the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. This mechanism benefits from the documentation secured by the IAPFB, among others, and contributes to accountability for perpetrators and justice for victims. This 15-month measure will provide continued support to the IAPFB, with a view to enable in-depth, transparent and impartial investigations into allegations of serious human rights violations and support the transition of the platform into a permanent structure.
