The next presentation was by Mr. Johan Bser (Sweden), Rapporteur of the Committee, who provided an overview of his intentions for his report to the 29th Annual Session in July 2022. Areas of focus will include the conflict in Ukraine, threats to freedom of the press and freedom of assembly, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the ways in which it has exposed existing human rights violations and inequalities. He emphasized that widespread discontentment and doubts about democracy must be resolved by building societies that work for everyone, including women and minority groups, and not by restricting basic freedoms.
