April 8, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Kaciaryna Dejka\u0142a, a lawyer with the Belarusian Helsinki Committee (BHC), has called for improving and promoting Belarusian terminology in the area of equality and non-discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a conference on non-discriminatory policy, co-hosted by the European Union and the Council of Europe, in Warsaw on April 8, she stressed that terminology creation should be part of a broader process to stoke up national culture and improve legal standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis process will continue after a democratic Belarus becomes a member of the Council of Europe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She suggested that after transition to democracy Belarus should adopt a law on equality against discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BHC, a human rights organization established in Belarus in 1995, has been banished from Belarus by the current government of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country\u2019s Committee for State Security (KGB) on March 31 branded it an extremist group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
