Conference
of the EUROPEAN
NETWORK FOR PEACE AND HUMAN RIGHTS 20-21 October 2005, European Parliament, Brussels Dear
Friend, Below is a draft programme for our Conference which meets in Brussels in a few weeks’ time. It begins at 11am on Thursday 20 October in Room ASP-1G3 (first floor, Altiero Spinelli Building area G, room 3), and continues until lunchtime on Friday 21 October. In order to enter the European Parliament, please come to the entrance to the Altiero Spinelli building of the Parliament in rue Wiertz (map attached), which is a continuation of rue Remorqueur, off the main rue Belliard. The entrance to the Altiero Spinelli building is on the right. The Maalbeek and the Schuman Metro stations are closest to the Parliament. Both are some minutes’ walk away from it. Please try to allow some time for collecting your credential, which will be available at the entrance, and passing through the Parliament’s security checks. As you will see from the draft programme, it is proposed that three workshops convene from 3pm to 6pm on Thursday 20 October. Any continuing work arising from these workshops may be done on Friday morning. In addition, there will be two new workshops that will run from 9 to 10.45 on Friday morning. Please consider in which workshops you may wish to intervene. As time in plenary sessions is strictly limited, most interventions will need to be made in the workshops. Background papers for some workshops are already available here. We look forward to seeing you in Brussels. Meanwhile, your comments and advice about the Conference are most welcome. Yours sincerely, Michael Barratt Brown Ken Coates Tony Simpson
