International “Human Rights Day” on December 10, 2023.</strong></p> <p>War is a crime against humanity. We condemn Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine, which is contrary to international law and has already led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries and millions of refugees.</p> <p>Many people from Russia and Belarus, but also from Ukraine, who are threatened with military service, try to evade  it: They do not want to kill other people and they do not want to die in this war. Soldiers at the front want to lay down their weapons in the face of the horror. They all face repression and imprisonment, in Belarus even the death penalty. But: Conscientious objection is an internationally recognized human right!</p> <ul><li>We demand from the governments of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine: Stop the persecution of conscientious objectors and deserters immediately!</li> <li>We demand from the EU: Open the borders! Give opponents of war the option to enter the European Union! Protect conscientious objectors and deserters from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and give them asylum!</li> </ul><p>For this purpose, we are going to organize rallies and demonstrations in front of Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian embassies as well as EU representations, vigils in front of deserter monuments and other creative actions at different locations in the week before the “International Human Rights Day” – from December 4 to 10, 2023. In doing so, we emphasize: conscientious objection is a human right!</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/objectwarcampaign">#ObjectWarCampaign</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/standwithobjectors">#StandWithObjectors</a></p> <h3>Who we are</h3> <p>We are an alliance of civil society organizations and are in solidarity with all people who stand up against war.

campaign #protection4olga has just been launched to demand protection and asylum for the director of the organisation <a href="https://news.house/" target="_blank">‘Our House</a>‘. She has been fighting for human rights in Belarus for years, including the right to conscientious objection to military service, and is therefore persecuted and faces capital punishment in her country of origin, where she has been labelled a ‘terrorist’ by the regime.</p> <p>On 18 August 2023, Lithuania denied her political asylum, calling Olga Karatch a ‘person who represents a threat to the national security of the Republic of Lithuania’. She was however granted a one-year temporary residence in the country, probably due to international letters of concerns that some politicians and heads of foundations had written to the authorities and to Lithuanian Ambassadors in different countries. But this status does not give her any safety regarding her status – authorities could at any time renege this decision and decide to deport her.</p> <p>For that reason, we have started an International Campaign for the immediate protection of the human rights defender and peacebuilder Olga Karatch.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Issues/Defenders/Declaration/declaration.pdf" target="_blank">UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders</a> adopted in 1998 acknowledges ‘the valuable work of individuals, groups and associations in contributing to the effective elimination of all violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms of peoples and individuals’.</p> <p>Olga Karatch, through the organisation she leads, ‘Our House’, has numerous activities to her credit in monitoring and defending human rights in Belarus and Belarusian citizens who have fled to other countries – such as Lithuania – and for this reason her organization was also chosen by the <a href="https://www.ipb.org/the-international-peace-bureauipb-has-announced-its-intention-to-nominate-three-remarkable-organizations-with-a-focus-on-the-right-to-conscientious-objection-for-the-2024-nobel-peace-prize/" target="_blank">International Peace Bureau to be nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize</a>, together with the <a href="https://stoparmy.org/en/">Russian Movement of Conscientious Objectors</a> and the <a href="https://pacifism.org.ua/en/about">Ukrainian Pacifist Movement</a>.</p> <p>States have an obligation to protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms of all citizens, and, especially for human rights defenders who ‘frequently face threats and harassment and suffer insecurity’ ‘to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of human rights defenders, at both the local and the national levels, including in times of armed conflict and peacebuilding’, as stated in <a href="https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N11/468/66/PDF/N1146866.pdf?OpenElement" target="_blank">UN General Assembly resolution 66/164</a>.</p> <p>We express our deep concern that ‘in some instances, national security and counter-terrorism legislation and other measures, such as laws regulating civil society organizations, have been misused to target human rights defenders or have hindered their work and endangered their safety in a manner contrary to international law’, as stated in <a href="https://www.right-docs.org/doc/a-hrc-res-22-6/#:~:text=Calls%20upon%20States%20to%20ensure%20that%20all%20legal,and%20human%20rights%2C%20and%20specifically%20to%20ensure%20that%3A">UN Human Rights Council Resolution 22/6 of 2013</a> on the protection of human rights defenders, which commits all states to protect and not criminalise those who work to defend human rights.</p> <ul><li>Therefore, we appeal to the highest Lithuanian authorities, the President of the Republic of Lithuania, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to respect international standards and provide protection and asylum for the Belarussian human rights defender Olga Karatch, who has taken refuge in Lithuania.</li> <li>Lithuania is also a member of the European Union.

dear Prime Minister, dear Speaker of Lithuanian Parliament, dear Minister of Foreign Affairs,</em></p> <p><em>I am writing to you because I am concerned about the safety and security of Ms Olga Karatch (Volha Karach), a peacebuilder and human rights defender from Belarus who has sought refuge in your country. Recently, on the 18<sup>th </sup>of August, the Lithuanian Immigration Authorities rejected her application for political asylum.</em></p> <p><em>Ms Olga Karatch is part of the Belarusian opposition and had to leave her home country in 2020 before the protests against the rigged presidential elections. Her organization “VšĮ Tarptautinis pilietinių iniciatyvų centras „Mūsų namai” is registered in Lithuania since 2014.</em></p> <p><em>Olga Karatch and her organization are fighting for human and civil rights in Belarus and against a possible direct participation of Belarus in the war in Ukraine. For that, they repeatedly have been threatened by the Lukashenko regime. The Belarusian KGB labelled her as a terrorist, and recently there have been death threats against her. If she returned to Belarus, she would face immediate arrest and conviction to many years of prison; even imposition of the death penalty cannot be ruled out.</em></p> <p><em>The UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders adopted in 1998 acknowledges ‘the valuable work of individuals, groups and associations in contributing to the effective elimination of all violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms of peoples and individuals’.</em></p> <p><em>States have an obligation to protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms of all citizens, and, especially for human rights defenders who ‘frequently face threats and harassment and suffer insecurity’ ‘to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of human rights defenders, at both the local and the national levels, including in times of armed conflict and peacebuilding’, as stated in UN General Assembly resolution 66/164.</em></p> <p><em>We express our deep concern that ‘in some instances, national security and counter-terrorism legislation and other measures, such as laws regulating civil society organizations, have been misused to target human rights defenders or have hindered their work and endangered their safety in a manner contrary to international law’, as stated in UN Human Rights Council Resolution 22/6 of 2013 on the protection of human rights defenders, which commits all states to protect and not criminalise those who work to defend human rights.</em></p> <p><em>Therefore, the situation is life threatening for her, and we ask you to extend your support to Ms Karatch and to allow her to stay in Lithuania and continue her work for human rights and peace under the secure status of being granted political asylum.</em></p> <p><em>Yours sincerely,</em></p>

(IPB) has announced our intention to nominate three exceptional organizations for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize: the <strong>Russian Movement of Conscientious Objectors, the Ukrainian Pacifist Movement, and the Belarusian organization “Our House”.</strong> The decision to nominate these three organizations is a testament to their unwavering dedication in advocating for the right to conscientious objection to military service and promoting human rights and peace in their respective countries.</p> <p>The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the world’s most esteemed awards, recognizing individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the pursuit of peace and harmony. The nomination period for the 2024 prize will open on 1 September 2023 and the nominations will be promptly submitted for consideration.</p> <p>The<strong> </strong>Russian Movement of Conscientious Objectors (<a href="https://stoparmy.org/">https://stoparmy.org/</a>), the Ukrainian Pacifist Movement (<a href="http://pacifism.org.ua/">http://pacifism.org.ua/</a>), and the Belarusian Our House (<a href="https://news.house/">https://news.house/</a>) have demonstrated unparalleled excellence and dedication in their efforts as defenders of peace, conscientious objection, and human rights, especially after the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine began on 24 February 2022 and despite the considerable stigmatization each organization has faced since.</p> <p>The fundamental right to conscientious objection to military service is an inherent human right, protected under the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion as safeguarded by Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). This right remains inalienable, even during periods of public emergency, as explicitly stated in Article 4(2) of the ICCPR. Embracing conscientious objection is a concrete means of contributing to peace. Hence, it becomes imperative to emphasize and safeguard this fundamental human right, especially during times of war.</p> <p>Even in the face of escalating threats, the three movements persist in their dedication to aiding individuals who resist war and military mobilization. Their focus is particularly on supporting those who endure persecution, torture, and imprisonment. This commitment encompasses all instances of forced and violent recruitment into participating armies, as well as the persecution of conscientious objectors, deserters, and non-violent anti-war demonstrators.</p> <p>“We are humbled and honored to nominate these three remarkable movements for the Nobel Peace Prize. Their courage in championing the right to conscientious objection and their tireless efforts to promote peace and human rights serve as an inspiration to us all,” said Philip Jennings, Co-President of IPB.</p> <p>By nominating these three movements, we seek to raise awareness about the importance of the right to conscientious objection, fostering peace and human rights. Furthermore, we hope that the announcement of this intended nomination will remind and pressure governments and nations across the globe to respect the right to conscientious objection in their own countries and provide alternatives to military service for those that object. This includes the right to asylum for conscientious objectors forced to flee their own countries in order to avoid military service.</p> <p>We call other organizations and particularly Nobel Peace Laureates from across the globe to support this nomination. Together our voices in support for conscientious objection can protect those who are selflessly putting their lives on the line to defend their beliefs and their compatriots who reject war and violence.</p> <p>The selection process for Nobel Peace Prize laureates is highly competitive and is conducted by esteemed committees dedicated to recognizing peace efforts worldwide. We firmly believe that these three movements stand among the most deserving candidates for this prestigious recognition.</p> <h3>About IPB</h3> <p>The International Peace Bureau is dedicated to the vision of a World Without War.

<p>                                                                                    Tel:  (41) 77  444 4420</p> <p>We would like to draw particular attention to the plight of those Belarussian men who have fled to Lithuania seeking to avoid military mobilisation in the increasingly likely event that Belarus will join the conflict in Ukraine in support of Russia.</p> <p>We understand that more than 300 have already been deported to Belarus simply on the grounds of past service in the Belarussian military, which paradoxically renders them at greater risk of such mobilisation.</p> <p>In recent weeks even those who have been legitimately living and working in Lithuania have come under threat.  No sooner had a court ordered the release of Vitaly Dvarashyn from immigration detention facilities pending his asylum appeal than we heard of the similar incarceration in solitary confinement at the refugee camp at Pabrade of Ivan Strashkevic, a former Belarussian border guard who left the service in 2019 but actively supported the protests in 2020 and who has subsequently contributed to a video documenting the brutality of Belarus’ border service.</p> <p>He is being held in custody in a Lithuanian refugee camp in a closed room with barred windows, despite having a valid residence permit in Poland that has not been revoked. His laptop and phone were confiscated, and he is only allowed to use the phone for 30 minutes a day, and even that is not guaranteed.</p> <p>While pleading with Lithuania to adhere to due process in all such cases, Conscience and Peace Tax International calls on all States to refrain from returning to Belarus persons at risk of military mobilisation.</p> <p><a

field--item"><p>On 4th July, European Bureau for Conscientious Objection (EBCO) and War Resisters' International (WRI) have made an urgent appeal to the Lithuanian immigration authorities regarding the case of  Ivan Strashkevich, a conscientious objector from Belarus who is currently seeking asylum in Lithuania. Ivan Strashkevich is facing the prospect of a long prison sentence in Belarus for his active support of the Belarusian protest movement in 2020, including his interviews in mass media against the violent actions of the security forces. </p> <p>On June 5, 2023, Lithuanian migration authorities refused to extend his work visa based on his previous military service, despite his active anti-war and anti-regime activism. They also imposed a 60-month ban on his entry into the European Union and Lithuania.</p> <p>On June 6, 2023, Ivan applied for political asylum and was scheduled for an interview on June 14, 2023. However, three hours after the interview on June 14, 2023, the immigration authorities detained him and <a href="https://nash-dom.info/114711" rel="noopener" target="_blank">forcibly transported</a> him to a refugee camp, where on June 16, the court decided to keep him in detention for one month, until July 14, 2023.</p> <p>He is being held in custody in a Lithuanian refugee camp, despite having a valid residence permit in Poland that has not been revoked. The entry ban to the European Union deprives him of the opportunity to seek political asylum in Poland under the Dublin Agreement, as he could have done if he hadn't applied for a humanitarian visa in Lithuania.</p> <p>Below is our joint letter as WRI and EBCO sent to the Lithuanian immigration authorities on 4th July 2023 expressing our grave concern about the case of Ivan Strashkevich and demanding his urgent release as well as expressing our support for his asylum application in Lithuania.</p> <h2>Ivan STRASHKEVICH case, gim 1993-09-01, urgent release</h2> <p>To:      Lithuanian Immigration authorities</p> <p>E-mail: <a href="mailto:info@migracija.gov.lt">info@migracija.gov.lt</a></p> <p>Dear Sir/Madam,</p> <p>On behalf of the European Bureau for Conscientious Objection (EBCO) and War Resisters' International (WRI), we are writing to you to express our grave concern about the case of Ivan STRASHKEVICH, an ethnic Lithuanian (gim 1993-09-01).</p> <p>It has come to our attention that an extension to the work visa of the above citizen of Belarus was refused on 5th June 2023, on the grounds that he had previously served as a border guard in the Belarussian army. At the same time he was served by the Lithuanian authorities with a 60 month ban on entry to the European Union. When he subsequently applied for asylum, he was detained during the interview and forcibly transferred to the refugee camp at Pabrade, where he was placed in solitary confinement with access to a phone for only thirty minutes a day – even that not guaranteed. This despite the fact that he has a valid residence permit for Poland which has not been revoked.</p> <p>EBCO and WRI have no doubt as to the bona fides of Strashkevich, who left the border service in 2019 and subsequently actively supported the protests following the disputed 2020 election and contributed to a documentary film critical of the border service’s handling of the 2021 migrant inflow. But in any case his asylum appeal ought to be allowed to run its course following due process without subjecting him to multiple human rights violations.</p> <p>We call upon the immigration authorities to restore Straskevitch’s links with the outside world, reconsider the necessity of his conditions of detention and allow him to pursue his application for asylum, which would enjoy our support, without hindrance.</p> <p>Moreover, even in the event that the application is turned down, we call upon the authorities to revoke the ban on his entry to the European Union, which has no rational justification.</p> <p>More generally, EBCO and WRI urgently appeal to the Lithuanian authorities that Belarus should not be considered a safe country for return, especially for those who have already been identified as opponents of the regime; that they revise their view of the significance of former military service in Belarus, recognising those who wish to avoid mobilisation as the conscientious objectors they now are; that they refrain in all cases from deporting such persons to Belarus, that they give favourable consideration to applications for asylum; and that failing this they agree to issue the objectors with the necessary residence and work permits enabling them to remain in Lithuania and the EU.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your kind attention and careful consideration.</p> <p>Sincerely yours,</p> <p> </p> <p>Alexia Tsouni                                                              Semih Sapmaz</p> <p>EBCO President                                                        WRI Programme Coordinator</p> <p> </p> <hr /><p>The European Bureau for Conscientious Objection (EBCO) was founded in Brussels in 1979 as an umbrella structure for national associations of conscientious objectors in the European countries to promote the right to conscientious objection to preparations for, and participation in, war and any other type of military activity as a fundamental human right. EBCO enjoys participatory status with the Council of Europe since 1998 and is a member of its Conference of International Non-Governmental Organisations since 2005. EBCO is entitled to lodge collective complaints concerning the European Social Charter of the Council of Europe since 2021. EBCO provides expertise and legal opinions on behalf of the Directorate General of Human Rights and Legal Affairs of the Council of Europe. EBCO is involved in drawing up the annual report of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament on the application by the Member States of its resolutions on conscientious objection and civilian service, as determined in the “Bandrés Molet &amp; Bindi Resolution” of 1994. EBCO is a full member of the European Youth Forum since 1995.</p> <hr /><p>War Resisters' International (WRI) was founded in London in 1921 as a global network of grassroots organisations, groups and individuals working together for a world without war. WRI remains committed to its founding declaration that 'War is a crime against humanity. I am therefore determined not to support any kind of war, and to strive for the removal of all causes of war'. Today WRI is a global pacifist and antimilitarist network with over 90 affiliated groups in 40 countries. WRI facilitates mutual support, by linking people together through publications, events and actions, initiating nonviolent campaigns that actively involve local groups and individuals, supporting those who oppose war and who challenge its causes, and promoting and educating people about pacifism and nonviolence. WRI runs three programmes of work that are important to the network: The Right to Refuse to Kill Programme, the Nonviolence Programme, and Countering the Militarisation of Youth.</p> </div> <!-- END

is a crime against humanity. We condemn Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine, which is contrary to international law and has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries and millions of refugees. Those who are sent to the front by their governments are particularly affected.</p> <p>Many people from Russia and Belarus, but also from Ukraine, that are threatened with military service are trying to avoid it: They do not want to kill other people and they do not want to die in this war. Soldiers at the front want to lay down their weapons in the face of the horror. They are all threatened by their governments with repression and prison sentences, in Belarus even up to the death penalty. Note that conscientious objection is an internationally recognised human right!</p> <ul><li>We demand from the governments of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine: Stop the persecution of conscientious objectors and deserters immediately!</li> <li>We demand from the EU and the government: Open the borders! Protect conscientious objectors and deserters from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and give them asylum.</li> </ul><h3>Call for actions on this International Conscientious Objection Day</h3> <p>This year during the week of International Conscientious Objection Day (15th May), we call everyone to organise rallies and demonstrations in front of Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian government institutions as well as EU representations, vigils in front of deserter monuments and many other creative actions in different places.</p> <p>We emphasise: Conscientious objection is a human right!</p> <p><strong>#ObjectWarCampaign #StandWithObjectors</strong></p> <hr /><p><em>Initiated by act for transformation; Arbeitsgemeinschaft Dienst für den Frieden (AGDF); Arbeitskreis Asyl Tribsees; Armin T.
