27/6/2013: Start of the Venice School of Human Rights 2013
The 4th edition of the Venice School of Human Rights will start on 27 June at the EIUC premises.
The Venice School - titled «Human Rights as our responsibility» - will engage the 47 participants coming from 27 different countries in exploring how this shared responsibility is to be declined when it comes to the rights-based approach to development cooperation, to protection of the rights of lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual, as well as to the implications between religion and human rights.
The School will start with a first session dedicated to a general introduction on international systems of protection of human rights and related mechanisms. The programme will then develop into three thematic clusters:
- Human Rights based approach to development cooperation
- Lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual rights
- Religion and human rights
| EIUC has the pleasure to welcome Catarina de Albuquerque, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to safe drinking water and sanitation, who accepted to give the inaugural address, and Paul Lemmens, Judge at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, who will give a conference on the right to religion. |  |
