Rusia, condamnată la CEDO pentru încălcarea dreptului la educaţie
October 23, 2012
Federaţia Rusă a fost condamnată la CEDO pentru încălcarea dreptului la educaţie în dosarul şcolilor cu predare în limba română din regiunea transnistreană, iar R.Moldova nu se face vinovată de violarea dreptului la educaţie în aceste cauze. În consecinţă Moscova a fost obligată să achite reclamanţilor 1 milion şi 70 de mii de euro.
În acest sens, în 2004, la CEDO, un grup de părinţi, elevi şi profesori au depus dosarele prin care au denunţat presiunile la care au fost supuşi din partea regimului din stânga Nistrului, pentru a renunţa la utilizarea alfabetului latin.
Acest lucru s-a întâmplat după ce în vara anului 2004, Sovietul Suprem de la Tiraspol a hotărât să închidă cele opt şcoli cu predare în limba română din teritoriu şi să le treacă în subordinea autorităţilor transnistrene. Atunci, forţele de ordine ale regimului din stânga Nistrului au deconectat instituţiile de învăţământ de la electricitate, apă şi alte servicii. Mai mult, părinţii au fost ameninţaţi că ar putea rămâne fără locuri de muncă dacă nu-şi trimit copiii la şcoli cu predare în limba rusă. După câteva luni de negocieri, administraţia de la Tiraspol a cedat sub presiunea organizaţiilor internaţionale, precum OSCE şi Consiliul Europei, iar şcolile au fost redeschise.
Autorităţile Republicii Moldova, statul implicat în medierea conflictului transnistrean – Ucraina, statele şi structurile observatoare SUA, UE şi OSCE, şi în mod special Federaţia Rusă sunt solicitate să facă tot posibilul pentru executarea deciziei Curţii Europene a Drepturilor Omului (CEDO) prin care Rusia a fost condamnată pentru încălcarea dreptului la educaţie a copiilor din trei licee din Bender, Râbniţa şi Grigoriopol. Solicitarea a fost expusă într-o rezoluţie semnată de către Asociaţia Promo-LEX şi directorii celor trei instituţii de învăţământ.
Directorul executiv al Asociaţiei Promo-LEX, avocatul Ion Manole, declară că nu a fost deloc uşor să se lucreze pe acest caz, deoarece se vedea durerea şi dezamăgirea oamenilor. Toate cele 8 şcoli cu predare în limba română cu grafie latină au avut de suferit, iar cazurile înregistrate la CEDO au moderat un pic administraţia din regiune.
Iar cei care au fost declaraţi de CEDO drept victime ale acţiunilor forţelor separatiste, consideră că despăgubirea este nesemnificativă, în comparaţie cu suferinţele prin care au trecut.
Analiştii sunt de părerea că Rusia va plăti despăgubirile de un milion şi 70 de mii de euro, dar nu îşi va schimba comportamentul în privinţa raioanelor de est ale Moldovei, din contra, va deveni şi mai agresivă.
Asociaţia Promo-LEX reprezintă încă 57 dosare la CEDO împotriva Rusiei şi Republicii Moldova privind încălcarea a diverse drepturi (stipulate în carta ONU) ale locuitorilor de peste Nistru.

Argentina Navy Chief fired after ARA San Juan submarine tragedy
ARGENTINA – Argentina has fired the head of its Navy a month after one of its submarines vanished with 44 crew members on board. Admiral Marcelo Eduardo Hipolito Srur was sacked by the country’s defence minister. The ARA San Juan was last heard from on November 15 when it reported a fire on board. A navy spokesperson said the message added that the issue was resolved. But it was still ordered to return to base at Mar del Plata.
The ARA San Juan has not been heard from since, despite a multi-national search effort some 250 miles off the Argentinian coast. Hopes for finding the submarine and its crew faded when the search passed 10 days, which was the amount of time the San Juan would have been able to sustain life with its limited oxygen supply.
U.S. Displays Weaponry It Says Proves Iran’s Influence
New UN report says investigators couldn’t definitively conclude missiles came from Iran. The U.S. for the first time publicly displayed what officials said were Iranian-made missiles, drones and other weaponry as proof of Tehran’s growing military influence in the Middle East.
At a hangar on an Air Force base in Washington, D.C.—where weapons remnants were on display— Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said the debris pointed to Iran’s threat to the region. Pentagon officials exhibited the weaponry to make their case that Tehran is actively fomenting instability, arming Houthi rebels inside Yemen who in turn have used the arms against American allies, particularly Saudi Arabia. Iran has denied that it arms the Houthis.

Mattis visits India to ask more help in Afghanistan
US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was in the Indian capital on Tuesday, marking the first visit to the country by a Cabinet-level official from President Donald Trump’s administration. In meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other officials, Mattis was expected to focus discussions on security in Afghanistan, military technology and a possible deal on fighter jets. Over the weekend, the US Defense Department said that the “US views India as a valued and influential partner.” Last month, Trump urged India to help more with security efforts in Afghanistan, as Washington steps up its own military campaign against Taliban insurgents who have gained ground.

North Korea fires second ballistic missile over Japan
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile across Japan, creating new tension in the region after its nuclear bomb test less than two weeks ago. The missile reached an altitude of about 770km (478 miles), travelling 3,700km before landing in the sea off Hokkaido, South Korea’s military says. It flew higher and further than one fired over Japan late last month.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said his country would “never tolerate” such “dangerous provocative action”. South Korea responded within minutes by firing two ballistic missiles into the sea in a simulated strike on the North. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also condemned the launch and the UN Security Council will meet later on Friday, 15 September 2017, in New York at the request of America and Japan.
