Description

The aim of the event was to bring experts on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and on human rights in general to mark the seventieth anniversary by focusing on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) foundations and achievements and the challenges still being faced in implementation of full respect and enjoyment of those rights.
The seventieth anniversary of The UDHR is an occasion to foster renewed appreciation for the crucial role of the UDHR at a time when fundamental human rights consistently are being ignored and abused and countless individuals are suffering from that privation all over the world.
