    There is no organisation in Australia that is lobbying for Human rights of Macedonians in Greece, Bulgaria, Albania and now in Severdzanistan.
    The AMHRC was it... sadly some believed they were bigger than the organisation and thought it should it end when their own flame was extinguished instead of passing it on.

    All the other Macedonian orgs are just umbrella groups that are not active out of Australia and focus on Macedonian matters solely in Australia.

    Is there any other Australian Macedonian Organisations, Committee’s or Council’s apart from WMC - Australia?

    True, and the ventilator went from being the flag of Fyrom to the flag of Severna and idiots smile when they wave the flag of Grchev.

    That is the sad truth and we don't have anyone but ourselves to blame.

    Reminds me of this... but in this case self inflicted.

    Their Facebook page. I feel it is portrayed as a "press release" but unsure if it were posted anywhere else.

    I would have thought it may have made it to this location:

    NEWS NEWS BY TODOR PETROV


    But no.

    No, was written by someone at WMC-A. Pretty massive coincidence this occurred as this thread emerged though.

    World Macedonian Congress - Australia

    "Sadly over the last few days, WMC has come to learn that the Australian Macedonian Human Rights Committee has decided to formally de-register itself as an incorporated association.
    WMC understands that the recently announced decision to de-register was undertaken without the appropriate levels of transparency or clarity for its members and was a previously undisclosed decision that the committee apparently took back in 2018.
    WMC also understands that no options were explored for the continuation of the organisation under different leadership or a new committee and that former commitee members lament its current status and relevance in the community.
    The overwhelming sentiment of former committee members and financial supporters is that certain individuals within the organisation have lost their passion and no longer wish to continue to advocate for the Macedonian cause via a dedicated human rights body as they had in the past. Furthermore, it is also a widely held belief amongst former committee members that the direction of the organisation is no longer in keeping with the sentiments of the Macedonian community in Australia.
    AMHRC was at one stage, one of the pre-eminent human rights advocacy groups for the Macedonian people in Australia and throughout the Macedonian Diaspora but has unfortunately suffered from a lack of engagement with the community over the last 5 years.
    They were notably absent during the organising of the community's rally against the name change in 2018 and have recently turned thier focus to promoting a book on Macedonian issues that contains contributions from known supporters of the Prespa agreement and the Zaev government.
    WMC understands that the promotion of this book is one of the reasons that AMHRC has not initiated the official process of winding up the organisation until now and that they wish to officially launch the book as 'AMHRC' before formally cancelling the organisation’s registration as an incorporated entity.
    WMC strongly believes that this is not what the Macedonian community in Australia expects from its organisations and especially not one that was at the forefront of the Macedonian human rights struggle for several decades with the important note that its never to late to do the right thing".

    LoM, it is one thing to refer to their absence. However, claiming that some of the people had "black marks" against their names is deceptively ambiguous. Suggesting that they have "split the assets among themselves" is an outright lie. You can refrain from making baseless remarks unless you're prepared to corroborate them.
    There will be those in this thread who know what I mean when I mention these black marks. As for the other part, I did say it was my guess and never claimed it to be a fact.

    Organisation was old and was not as prominent as it had once been, some of the people involved had black marks next to their names. My guess is that they just decided to fold and split the assets amongst themselves rather than bother trying to get new people involved.
