DESCRIPTION:A talk by Nadia Lefter\, LLM in International Human Rights Law\
 , University of Essex\, UK\, and Research Assistant at the Centre for Huma
 n Rights & Legal Pluralism. Kindly RSVP to chrlp [dot] law [at] mcgill [do
 t] ca.\n\nAbstract: Moldova has signed and ratified numerous regional and 
 international human rights instruments\, which have a direct applicability
  at the domestic level. This has led to the adoption of some of the most p
 rogressive (in theory) national laws and human rights protection tools.\n	M
 oldova’s financial dependence on external funders has some beneficial impa
 ct on the decision making process of the Moldovan authorities and\, as suc
 h\, an impact on human rights\, but having weak public institutions deeply
  affected by corruption and lacking in independence\, leaves few legal pro
 tection options for civil society.\n	For Moldova\, formerly of the USSR and
  the poorest country in Eastern Europe\, the promotion of human rights con
 stitutes many challenges and multiple opportunities simultaneously\, givin
 g civil society activists a chance to apply the most creative and innovati
 ve lobbying and advocacy techniques - an experience that can be applied in
  many countries.\n\nAbout the speaker: Nadia Lefter\, specialized in socia
 l and economic rights\, has worked in various international organizations 
 in Moldova\, like: United Nations Development Programme\, International Or
 ganization for Migration\, Amnesty International Moldova and others.\n
