Protection of the LGBT citizens of Bosnia

Share
Share on FacebookShare on Twittershare on Linked Inshare on Google Plusshare via email

Resolution adopted at the Paris Council meeting, 9-12 October 2008.

"Given the recent attacks on one of the first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender festivals in Bosnia by homophobic thugs encouraged by extremist politicians, which resulted in the cancellation of the festival in Sarajevo, the European Green Party supports the following resolution.

We call upon the Bosnian authorities to protect the LGBT citizens of Bosnia from homophobic violence and intolerance and to ensure that LGBT events do not again become the focus of such violent attacks leading to their cancellation. We appreciate that the EU-representatives in Sarajevo have already published a statement which laments the acts of violence and demands tolerance. We will also ask our respective embassies in Sarajevo to support LGBT rights and events when communicating with the Bosnian authorities.

We fully uphold the rights of all LGBT people in Europe and insist that all applicant countries for membership of the European Union, protect the rights of all vulnerable minorities in their states, and that such membership cannot be considered until it is clearly demonstrated that such minorities, such as the LGBT community, are fully protected and that European human rights legislation and protection is fully adhered to by such applicant states."

Climate Action - For the people and the planet

Post date:
19 March 2021
Body:
The EGP is committed to driving climate action towards climate neutrality -- in line with the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global temperature rise to 1.5C. As Greens, we believe that climate action should support Europe’s recovery and help reset us on a path towards a resilient, fair future. Greens are already leading this fight all over Europe and we intend to keep it up.

2021 New Year's Reception as a gift of culture
Body:

On Wednesday 27 January, members and friends of the European Green Party convened for a virtual New Year's Reception. Traditionally organised in Brussels and gathering mostly local supporters, this year we hosted our Green family from all over Europe. The reception was an opportunity to take stock of the year 2020 in all its unprecedented ways, but also celebrate our green successes. Our host was the talented Polish activist Michał Suchora who navigated through our virtual event taking place in both Brussels and Warsaw.
