Ten years ago, on 19th December 2011, the General Assembly adopted the UN-Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training. Human rights education promotes values, beliefs and attitudes that encourage all individuals to uphold their own rights and those of others. It develops an understanding of everyone’s common responsibility to make HR a reality in each community.
Between 2010 and 2019 I was the Foundation Convenor and Series Coordinator of nine annual International Human Rights Conference Series held in Australia, South Africa, Poland, Taiwan, USA, Chile, Holland and Canada.
The 10th conference was planned to be held in Nepal but unfortunately had to be cancelled because of the COVID pandemic. Let’s hope that we will be able to organise the 10th conference in 2023.
