Adopted at the VIth Assembly of the Belarusian Party of Greens on May, 22 of 1999
By its political activities, the Belarusian Party of Greens (from now on, the Greens) aims to create a healthy life environment, the natural and social parameters of which would be the most favorable as possible to human sustainable development.
The progress which consists of changing the world and its vision, ways of life and conscience, will help to resolve the ecological problems of the society.
The man must be conscious of and respect the balance between his needs and rights, on the one hand, and his environmental responsibility, on the other.
The Belarusian Party of Greens is a political union of citizens who try to contribute to build Belarus as a society of free people, which will be able to assure them of a long life in a healthy social and natural environment.
For the Greens, the individual human rights and natural environment have priority over economy and the State.
The Greens consider the State as a regulatory force which must assure its citizens of ecological and social security.
In accordance with the principles mentioned above:
1. The Greens consider the ecological culture as one of the main components of human culture, as a leading factor of personal development.
2. The Greens consider as very important the development of ecological responsibility, of an ethical attitude to every living being, of an ecological way of life. It is important to spread the ecological way of thinking through society by the way of education since early childhood. The Greens are a humanistic party which is opposed to all kind of domination of one man over another, of the man over natural environment. We are convinced that harmonious relations between the man and his natural environment are impossible to realize without harmonious and equal relations between people.
In order to realize its objectives, the Greens come out in favour of:
1. Introduction of legislative guarantees for people and natural environment:
by a set of environmental laws regulating all sorts of relations between individual, society and natural environment;
by a system of progressive sanctions in favour of natural environment and victims of pollution;
by a system of compensations in favour of citizens for working of polluting and harmful industries, which are impossible to close immediately.
2. Allocation of the funds received from ecological taxes and sanctions to ecological balance recovery only. Ecologically dangerous sites will be possible to be built only after an independent expert appraisal and local community agreement.
3. Real right for people to receive full and true ecological information from the government and municipal authorities. Hiding this kind of information must be considered as a criminal practice.
4. Introduction of safe, energy efficient and ecological technologies in all the branches of industry, agriculture, transport, energy production and supply.
5. Appointment of ecologically competent people only to managerial and governmental posts of all levels.
6. Creation of an effective system of lifelong ecological education since early childhood.
7. Ban on import on the territory of Belarus of ecologically dangerous industries and waste, strict quality control of imported food-products.
The Greens are a democratic party which comes out in favour of a progressive development of the Belarusian society in order to assure peace and avoid social crises and catastrophes.
The Greens promote and try to obtain:
accordance of all the Belarusian legislation with the norms of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights conventions;
transfer as many as possible of governmental functions from central power to more local levels in order to progressively achieve local self-government based on direct democracy;
guaranteed protection of individual, family and children rights;
conditions which favour a healthy way of life, eradication of drug, alcohol and tobacco dependence;
protection and creation of new natural reserves and recreational areas.
The Greens propose an alternative way of social development. We aspire to a society based on the principles of freedom, equality and justice, to harmonious relations between the man and natural environment.
The Greens are a party of struggle for peace between all the nations of the world, for ban on and destruction of nuclear, chemical, biological and all other massive destruction and cruel weapons.
The Greens reject violent means of political action.
One of the main forms of political activity of the Greens is participation in elections and parliamentary work on national and local level.
Besides parliamentary forms of political activity, the Greens use the following non-parliamentary forms:
promotion of ecological ideas, technologies and ecological education;
opinion polls, organization of local referendums and petitions on different subjects of social and political life;
environmental expertise and monitoring;
organization of meetings, picket lines, demonstrations, boycotts and civil disobedience actions;
creation of commissions, foundations, councils, clubs, summer camps and schools in order to promote ecological education and environmental activism;
cooperation with other Belarusian and international environmental, peace-making and civil rights organizations;
participation in the international environmentalist movement;
