LIBER Code of Conduct
LIBER is committed to maintaining a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment—one that will strengthen collaboration, promote intellectual freedom, and support open dialog and debate. We are dedicated to ensuring a safe and open atmosphere for everyone, regardless of sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion, or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age, or sexual orientation¹.
LIBER does not tolerate personal attacks, harassment of any kind, or disruptive behaviours in conferences, events, meetings, online forums, or any other LIBER activities. All attendees, speakers, sponsors, vendors, partners, as well as LIBER Office staff and officers at the LIBER Annual Conference and any other LIBER events are required to adhere to the LIBER Code of Conduct.
If you feel unsafe in any way, or notice that someone else feels threatened or unsafe, or have any other concerns and you do not feel comfortable communicating with the individual that has affected you negatively, please bring this to the attention of LIBER. Depending on the situation, you might want to contact the following contacts directly or via a third party:
- LIBER Office via liber@libereurope.org with ‘Code of Conduct’ in the subject line
- LIBER Executive Director Martine Pronk
- The Secretary-General of LIBER or any other member of the Executive Board.
LIBER will take every signal seriously and will act appropriately to remedy the situation, taking into account the relevant rules, regulations and laws.
