Editor

PRAGUE, 22 February, Caucasus Times. UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Luisa Arbur is going to share her thoughts and impressions about her trip to the North Caucasus region with Dmitry Kozak, Presidential Representative in the South Federal District. At the same time, Luisa Arbur does not think it would be possible for her to give any precise instructions on how regional problems can be solved.

In Luisa Arbur’s words, she can propose a number of complex decisions, but she believes it would be too arrogant from her side to do something like that after only three days spent in this extremely complicated area. Therefore, she is going to share just her general thoughts and impressions.

“When you are coming to North Caucasus, on the first day you have impression that you know absolutely nothing about what is going on in the region. In the middle of your trip you have a feeling that you understand everything, but when you are leaving this region, you understand even less than on the first day of your arrival”, – Luisa Arbur said.

In the framework of her visit to North Caucasus, Luisa Arbur visited Chechnya, Ingushetia and North Ossetia.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
