    Extractions: As published in The Right to Conscientious Objection in Europe , Quaker Council for European Affairs, 2005. Conscription is enshrined in Article 124 of the 1991 Constitution and is further regulated by the 2000 Defence Forces Service Act. The length of military service is 8 months, and 11 months for officers and conscripts serving in some specialist positions. All men between the ages of 19 and 27 are liable for military service. After completion of military service, conscripts may be called up for reservist duties every five years. The armed forces comprise 3,800 troops, including 1,500 conscripts. Every year, approx. 11,000 young men reach conscription age; approx. 15 per cent are recruited. The right to conscientious objection is recognized in Article 124 of the 1991 Constitution, according to which: "Any person who refuses to serve in the Defence Forces for religious or ethical reasons shall be obligated to participate in alternative service, in accordance with procedures established by law". The 2000 Defence Forces Service Act includes further provisions on conscientious objection and substitute service. The law requires the government to pass further legislation implementing the right to conscientious objection, but this has not happened.

    Extractions: Introduction Estonia has made significant steps towards the information age and several processes initiated earlier are starting to bear fruit. The government has been able to assign about one percent of its budget to information technology development in the public sector for eight consecutive years now. This has brought PCs to the desks of more than 90% of employees of ministries, authorities, inspectorates and other government institutions who need to work with computers. The Estonian government has replaced paper documentation prepared for its sessions with digital documents and launched an Internet-based system for government sessions. As from of this year all Estonian municipalities are connected to the Internet. A national network of public Internet access points is also taking shape. Last year, the Digital Signature Act was approved by Parliament. This gives the basic legal framework for the development of e-commerce. Rapid development of information infrastructure PeaTee, the backbone network for government institutions started in 1998, has now matured to reach its planned volume. The number of government institutions and their subdivisions to be connected to PeaTee has passed the 550 mark (ie more than 10,000 computers). About 80% of these entities enjoy the benefits of 2 Mbps or even 10 Mbps transfer speeds. Connection costs have steadily decreased at the same time.

    Extractions: At the time of the Copenhagen Conference, Estonia had already begun its transition to market economy. Key structural changes that took place in 1990s were the fall of the agricultural sector and heavy industries, a rapid growth of the service sector and new technology industries. As a result, the structure of the Estonian economy is now similar to that of developed countries. The rapid development of the information technology, which started with the economic restructuring, has had a considerable impact on labour market - it means that the demand for qualified specialists and skilled workers is high. A reform of state vocational education institutions began in 1995 and aimed at providing young people and adults with an opportunity to obtain knowledge and skills that the employers need.

    Extractions: The protection of Human Rights in Estonia has been monitored by at least 15 high-level international missions during the last few years. Human Rights observers of the CSCE have permanently resided in the country. This particular interest has been caused mainly by continuing Russian accusations of grave but unspecified Human Rights violations of Russian-speaking immigrants in Estonia. No Human Rights violations or instances of discrimination on ethnic grounds have been found by any mission. In May 1993, Estonia became a fun member of the Council of Europe, and is thus recognized as a democratic state with a constitution and laws in accordance with international standards. Nevertheless, Russian accusations continue. The large group of recent Russian-speaking settlers in Estonia, deliberately created during the decades of Soviet occupation, is obviously being used for political purposes. This general frame of reference should be considered whenever the issue of the protection of Human Rights in Estonia is brought up. In the following the existing legal framework and the actual Human Rights situation in Estonia is described in some detail.

    Extractions: The first nation of Central Europe and NIS to re-join the global economy The rapid progress that Estonia has made in re-establising its democratic institutions and economic relations with the West makes it the first of the Central European countries to "graduate" from U.S. assistance. The United States renewed formal diplomatic relations with Estonia, a small Baltic country located 50 miles south of Finland, in September 1991 after Estonia regained its independence, concluding almost 50 years of U.S. recognition of the Estonian government-in-exile. Nearly all the goals of the U.S. assistance program have been met and the relationship is maturing from that of donor-recipient to a partnership of shared values, mutual security interests and increased trade and investment. Thomas Dine, USAID assistant administrator for Europe and the Newly Independent States will travel to Estonia with James Holmes, Department of State SEED coordinator, to participate in graduation events with Estonian President Lennart Meri and Prime Minister Tiit Vahi and others on September 16 in Tallinn. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) supervises a broad range of U.S. assistance activities under the 1989 Support for Eastern European Democracy (SEED) Act and has worked with the people of Estonia as a partner to help support their reform efforts.

    Extractions: 7. Current status planning In addition to this, functional regimes concerning foreign language use may be introduced by the Estonian government. Monolingual regime is based on two different foci: administrative requirements based on instrumental needs of a state (official language, information, translation, etc.) and specific linguistic rights, sustaining the Estonian language environment. Linguistic human rights are based on various fundamental principles, including the non-discrimination principle (equality before the law), the communication rights (freedom of expression) The most important domestic human right, the right to communicate in the Estonian language throughout the whole territory of Estonia, is provided in article 4 of the Language Law. It implies Estonian-language environment, placing obligations to all institutions and artificial bodies before any person. The law does not differentiate between public and private legal persons and subordinate-superior position in these. In order to fulfil this obligation, Article 5 of the Language Law (Requirements for knowledge and usage of the Estonian language) delegates the establishment of requirements for the knowledge and usage of the Estonian language by employees of state institutions and local governments, as well as of institutions, enterprises and organisations, in work-related dealings with the public to the Government of the Republic to be regulated through regulations.

    Extractions: Unfortunately, I think the focus of the last few years has been on staying float and not on the grand pushes ahead. There has been more focus on fire-fighting particular economic emergencies which have arisen one after another and, subsequently, the longer-term perspective has not been emphasized enough. There has been less strategy and more adept fire fighting so far. But there is more of a consensus now for something more comprehensive, for a program with more vision. I think the new Tiit Vähi government may have a more comprehensive vision, with less emphasis on the fire fighting. CITY PAPER: What is the main obstacle preventing successful economic reform right now? The major obstacle is the political paralysis in parliament. The fact is that the current representatives were elected in what was a different time two years ago. They were elected when people were thinking that they should elect representatives with connections to Moscow, representatives who could help secure independence. But the types of people who were elected are simply not the ones who are going to push through economic reforms. You also have to consider that a quarter of the delegates are hard-line Russian-speakers. A quarter of them are former communists of some sort. A quarter of them are centrists of some kind and another quarter are what would be termed

    Extractions: When Estonia joined the European Union on May 1, 2004, the country’s 160,000 Russian-speaking non-citizens remained in limbo. These individuals are being forced to choose between learning a new language and passing an exam to acquire Estonian citizenship; applying for Russian citizenship and thus surrendering the benefits of EU membership; or remaining stateless with limited political access and foreign travel restrictions. While Article Nine of the Estonian Constitution states that “the rights, freedoms and duties of each and every person, as set out in the Constitution, shall be equal for Estonian citizens and for citizens of foreign states and stateless persons in Estonia,” this mandated equality is not the reality for Estonia’s stateless persons. The problem of statelessness in Estonia has a long history. In June 1940, Soviet troops occupied Estonia, abolishing its independence and establishing a new Soviet order. From 1944 to 1991, Estonia belonged to the Soviet Union. During this time, thousands of Estonians were killed or deported, while Russians were forced to migrate to Estonia. The Russian-speaking population in Estonia jumped from eight to approximately 40 percent. On August 20, 1991, Estonia re-established independence. At that time, the government restricted automatic citizenship to those who held it before the Soviet occupation and their descendents, leaving hundreds of thousands of individuals stateless. Over time, albeit slowly, Estonia has taken steps to reduce the numbers of stateless people.
