On 27 September 2019, the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office organised the conference of ombudsmen from the Nordic and Baltic countries ‘Ensuring social and economic rights is a safeguard of a dignified life’. At the conference, speakers and participants from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway shared their experience and assessed the progress of neighbouring countries in the area of social and economic rights. The conference revealed that despite differences between countries, they have very similar problems and, accordingly, a sustainable cooperation between neighbouring countries can help find common solutions of problems.
