Center for Security Policy Executive Vice President Christopher C. Hull, Ph.D. will take part in a seminar on the rights and powers of immigrant parents for their children in Europe on September 18 in Warsaw, Poland.

The seminar is a Pantarey Foundation-organized side event at the 2018 Human Dimension Implementation Meeting of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

The seminar will present the matter of public officials dealing with the protection of children’s rights in Norway and other countries in Europe. Participants will talk about the trend of crossing the boundaries of family autonomy and increasing interference in family rights, particularly against immigrant families from other European countries, and discrimination in favor of the rights of immigrant families from outside Europe.

The seminar will include practitioners of contacts with institutions such as Barnevernet, lawyers involved in legal assistance in Norway and Poland, as well as experts from Austria, the USA and Denmark.

The event will be presented by the President of the Board of the Warsaw-based Ordo Iuris Institute, Mr. Jerzy Kwaśniewski, who provides legal assistance to Polish families. In addition to Dr. Hull, Mrs. Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff from the German organization Pax Europa and Mr. Henrik Clausen from Denmark representing the Austrian association Wiener Akademikerbund will take part in the discussion.

The experiences of women with the Barnevernet institution will be related by Dorota Korzeniecka, who helps parents in Norway with contacts with the Norweigian Office for the Protection of Children. The seminar will also be attended by representatives of organizations from other European countries, and a representative of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway in Poland was invited to participate.

The meeting will be hosted by Maja Ruben, President of the Pantarey Foundation and Michał Specjalski Vice-President of the Pantarey Foundation.
