The Platform 112 - for Croatia goverend by the Rule of Law
The Platform of Human Rights Organisations in Croatia, which is established to monitor the status of human rights and the rule of law in the context of the finalization of Croatia’s Accession Negotiations with the EU, demands a different Croatia – Croatia in which the rule of law represents the foundation of individual, institutional and political action.
On the eve of parliamentary elections, we are hereby inviting political parties and independent candidates to respond publicly, prior to citizens casting their ballots, to each of the demands we are posing. Our demands are categorised, based on our long standing experience, into five interrelated high-priority areas:
Stable, accountable and democratic government institutions and equal access to justice
- Quality of democracy
- Fight against corruption and the public interest
- Equality and dignity of all people
- Legacy of war, dealing with the past and peace-building
We would like to announce that we will closely monitor the work of the next government during its entire mandate and keep the domestic and international public systematically informed on any positive shifts or setbacks in these areas, while calling the government to account in relation to undertaken commitments arising from international treaties, as well as in relation to the pre-election promises, on which they will also make their statements here.
The Platform 112 is composed of the following organizations:
B.a.B.e., Centre for Education, Counselling and Research (CESI), Centre for LGBT Equality, Centre for Peace Studies (CMS), Centre for Peace, Nonviolence and Human Rights-Osijek, Documenta – Centre for Dealing with the Past, GONG, Human Rights House, Right to the City, Serb Democratic Forum, Transparency International Croatia, Association for Social Affirmation of People with Mental Disabilities - Sjaj, Association for Independent Media Culture, Association for Promoting Inclusion, Association for Promotion of Equal Possibilities, Association of Parents of Children with Special Needs "PUŽ", Association for Self-Advocacy, Association of Croatian Investigative Journalists and the Green Action.
