In Resolution 2499 (2023), the PACE addressed the challenges faced by the Belarusians in exile and proposed a number of solutions to be implemented by Council of Europe member states. The objective of this meeting will be to discuss the role national authorities, including parliaments, can play in supporting the implementation of these recommendations. This event is a follow-up to the PACE report on “Addressing the specific challenges faced by the Belarusians in exile” adopted in June 2023 and whose rapporteur is Paul Galles (Luxembourg, EPP/CD). It aims to generate a discussion on the role national parliaments can play to support the recommendations made in Resolution 2499 (2023), notably through the newly established international parliamentary Alliance for Democratic Belarus. It builds on the structured and regular dialogue of the Council of Europe, including its Assembly, with Belarusian democratic forces, and enhances links with civil society, human rights defenders, independent journalists and academia with a view to contributing to enhancing their visibility and outreach. The overall aim of the event is to support the efforts of the Belarus democratic forces in resolving the challenges faced by Belarusians in exile pending their return to a democratic Belarus.
