At HRC46, 45 delegations co-sponsored a statement voicing their concern for the deteriorating situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the Russian Federation in the context of the case of Alexei Navalny.

Since the statement was made in March, Russian authorities have further expanded their crackdown on civil society through arrests, detentions, and further legislation aimed at silencing civil society.

This webinar examined how the international community can better address the human rights situation in the Russian Federation, including through support for Russian civil society, and through action at the Human Rights Council.
