Dear all,
We would like to recommend you the sixth issue of the Balkan Human Rights Network Yearbook of Human Rights. Every year BHRN strives to choose one topic which is in the focus of the public discourse in the whole region. This year's issue is "EU Accession and Human Rights -Consequences, Tendencies and the Role of Civil Society".
BHRN Yearbook of Human Rights is a collection of essays written by the renowned regional experts who contribute with their analysis and opinions about the given topic. Topics of the previous issues of the Balkan Yearbook of Human Rights have been: (Un)Even Partners Political Conditionality in Relations with the Balkan Countries (2001), Police and Human Rights (2002), Human Rights Education in the Balkans (2003), Minority Rights (2004) and Confronting with the Past, Consequences for the Future (2005). Our wish is to continue producing relevant analysis compiled in the BHRN Yearbook in the years to come.
Topic "EU Accession and Human Rights - Consequences, Tendencies and the Role of Civil Society" is becoming more and more important as the date of the accession of our neighbours Romania and Bulgaria is approaching. All the countries of the Western Balkans aspire to become member of the EU but too often human rights perspective of that process is being overlooked. As representatives of the civil society we want to ask ourselves and our colleges what role should we play in the process of joining the EU? This Yearbook is an effort to assess what we have all done until now and what lies ahead of us.
We would like to use this opportunity to thank the authors and stress the importance of the financial support of the Royal Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs without which this publication would not have been possible.
