Where do Ukraine’s EU accession talks stand regarding minority rights protection for the country’s Hungarian and other minority groups?
If you are involved in Ukraine policy, current EU issues, human rights advocacy, or international law, or if you’re just interested in engaging with these issues – this webinar is for you! There will be an opportunity to ask questions.
Webinar and Q&A
Friday, November 15, 2024
10:00 – 11:00 AM ET
Online, in English
Join us for a webinar as two experts from the Transcarpathia region of Ukraine discuss timely and complex questions:
- What is the current legal status of national minorities in Ukraine?
- How does the minorities’ situation align with Ukraine’s ambitions for EU accession, which requires meeting specific human and minority rights criteria?
- What are Ukraine’s international commitments in these areas, and how does Ukrainian legislation measure up (e.g. in the areas of language use, culture, and education)?
- What is the political and diplomatic context of current Hungarian-Ukrainian bilateral relations?
