The purpose of this session is to provide an opportunity for you to share your recent work and advocacy activities this past year and discuss "action steps and pressure points" to help address urgent concerns and find effective coping strategies and remedies on:
How can we use the Paris Peace Accords Human Rights and democracy support provisions as a framework for evaluating and addressing the current deficiencies and concerns? Given the availability of the upcoming 30th Anniversary commemorations as a means for giving special attention to the Accords;
How we address the obvious deficiencies in the upcoming elections in 2022 and 2013, and provide for a more realistic opportunity for the political opposition to function on an effective basis, and for a true democratic, free and fair election to take place; and
How to deal with and what opportunities are available to address the current major series of repressive tactics and to prevent additional arrests, trials and restrictions on freedom of expression.
