IInterview with the head of the council of EHRC – Evhen Tsybulenko
Before my academic career I worked at the International Committee of the Red Cross as an officer responsible for promotion and implementation of International Humanitarian Law (also known as Law of Armed Conflicts). My Ph.D. thesis was also dedicated to IHL. Sure, IHL and Human Rights are not exactly the same branches of law, but they have a lot of common features. The goal is also the same – to protect people. Fortunately, Estonia is a peaceful country and my involvement in IHL is mostly limited to teaching it at TUT and periodically at Baltic Defense College. Human Rights is a branch of law, which is mostly applicable at peace time (even if hard core human rights could not be derogated even at war time), that’s why in Estonia Human Rights are more relevant.
I was a founder and first director of the International University Audentes’s Human Rights Centre. After the merger of Audentes with TUT the centre was divided for two independent parts – Tallinn Law School’s Human Rights Centre at the Tallinn University of Technology, which is mainly responsible for scientific aspects of Human Rights and EHRC, which is more involved in solving of practical problems. Naturally two centers are working in close co-operation and I am involved in both – as the Director of the first and the Head of the Council of the second.
2. How do you see the future of EHRC – which direction should the centre be heading and how do you think the centre has done so far?
