Last week, our team of Civic Space implemented two events in relation to freedom of expression and the legal environment for CSOs operations.

The activities started with the organization of a seminar towards Turkish Cypriot lawyers on Freedom of Expression as per the European convention on Human Rights and a case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The second part of the seminar was focused on judgements of the European Court of Human Rights on Freedom of Expression and implications of ECtHR Case Law on National Legislations.

The AIS is an Africa-wide and home grown initiative aimed at harnessing the innovation potential of the continent. It aims to mobilize the people and, especially those with the ‘power to act’, including investors, the people with the ideas, the policy makers, the researchers and academics, the business community, the youth, as well as innovators and thinkers into a coalition for collective action to promote and build an enabling environment for innovation in Africa.
