Kindly Invite You to a RECONNECT Webinar   Civil Society Protecting the Rule of Law: The View from the Hungarian Helsinki Committee   by Márta Pardavi (Hungarian Helsinki Committee) and Edit Zgut (University of Warsaw)   25 February 2020, 1 - 2 pm (CEST)

An independent civil society is an essential actor in protecting the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights. As the EU looks to make its rule-of-law toolbox more effective, what role should civil society play? And how can the EU support the work of civil society organisations to make sure they can perform their role to promote and protect the rule of law? Márta Pardavi, co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a human rights NGO based in Budapest, will discuss their experience with monitoring, advocating on and litigating rule of law backsliding in Hungary, using the EU framework.  Discussant: Edit Zgut (University of Warsaw, Centre for Europe) Moderator: Alex Andrione-Moylan (Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies)

February 25 13:00 - 14:00 (CEST)   Participation is free, but we kindly ask you to register your attendance to the webinar via the link below:     REGISTER
