JHS-Report-The-impact-of-the-Covid-19-pandemic

With the Covid-19 pandemic our world has been thrown into a global mega crisis, and democracy and human rights have got new challenges. Countries with repressive governments have used the pandemic to achieve their political goals, restricting freedoms and fundamental rights.

In the new report by the Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation, selected authors and experts from different parts of the world share their analysis on how the pandemia has affected us and where we might be heading.

From 28 February to 1 March 2020, the Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation and the Party of Democratic Progress (PDP) held a campaign conference in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the three-day conference, PDP candidates from across the country were trained in how to successfully conduct political campaigns. The participants discussed, among other things, the use of social media, election laws in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the political development in the country.
