“Challenging an #election, its conduct or its results may reveal weaknesses, but it may also be an indication of the vitality & openness of a political system” See the new OSCE/ODIHR handbook on election dispute resolution - launched today at #HDIM2019 osce.org/odihr/election…

Congrats to International IDEA and Kevin Casas on this useful report! Totally agree that “recent years have been marked by declines in the fabric of both older and younger democracies”.

#Elections are core to the democratic process. Good meeting with partners in election observation, reaffirming that shared principles & comprehensive methodology safeguard our role as neutral and impartial observers at the service of the citizens in all the countries we work.

New trends in #elections and international best practices for observing them were the focus of a high-level panel at an ODIHR-hosted meeting on implementing the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation - learn more: bit.ly/35kBU9g

Today’s statement of @ODIHRdirector on #WyboryPrezydenckie2020

As governments take further steps to stem the spread of #COVID19, ODIHR calls on the authorities of #Serbia to ensure a key role for #parliament in overseeing the #StateOfEmergency and a firm legal basis for all extraordinary measures put in place

Respecting international standards is a must for all countries planning to hold #elections. See ODIHR’s latest legal opinion here: bit.ly/3aI2mMm

the expertise of OSCE/ODIHR helped reach an agreement that is fact-based and inclusive.

Can't agree more! Inclusive registration is a prerequisite in any elections. Decent treatment of all candidates and citizens no less important!

I echo the concerns expressed here by UN rapporteurs, particularly as OSCE/ODIHR hasn’t yet received an invitation to observe the forthcoming presidential election in #Belarus A full assessment of the electoral process depends on our ability to send observers sufficiently early.

A comprehensive #HumanRights and #COVID19 report, and a true product of #ODIHR teamwork led by @ODIHRdirector

Today I was appointed by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya as her Special Representative on Elections. My tasks will include conceptualizing and preparing the foundations for good elections in #Belarus, engaging Belarus citizens and working with international partners.

Right now Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and Pavel Latushka speaking at #clubhouse about future of Belarus. Speaking not TO the audience but WITH the audience. Great to join Franak Viačorka, Anton Motolko and Ihar Mahaniok. Stay tuned - we will do something on Belarus elections soon.

There is a huge role for OSCE and Ann Linde as CiO to play in facilitating negotiations as a way out of political crisis and towards democratic elections in #Belarus.

Despite the demand from citizens, now there is “no political will to hold honest elections in #Belarus”. We can and will change this. See today’s interview. news.tut.by/economics/7195…

More details on how exactly we will go about setting the ground for new democratic elections in Belarus. Read in this interview to the oldest newspaper in Belarus, Наша Ніва. m.nn.by/articles/26857…

Come join at 17:00 CEST. We will be talking about current crisis in Belarus, elections as the entry point and a solution to it, and will touch upon the role of the OSCE. fb.me/e/2sySiBWgm
