The 4^th World Forum on Human Rights will be held in Nantes from 28 June to 1 July, 2010 at the Nantes Métropole international Convention Center.


Under the title "In a World in crisis, what about Human Rights ?" the Forum themes will be:

• Identities and minorities – living and acting together, in diversity
  
  
• The constant struggle to protect freedom of expression and opinion
  
  
• Defending and strengthening labor law despite the crisis
  
  
• The From Soil to Plate / From Values to Rules colloquium
  In partnership with  Lascaux, the European research programme
  
  

This forum was created from its inception (2004) at the initiative of UNESCO (SHS), to support the networks of actors involved in the protection, respect, and implementation of human rights by strengthening solidarity between these different actors (policy makers, activists and NGO leaders, academics and international experts, representatives of international organisations, etc.). 

During the World Forum on Human Rights, everyone is invited to converse freely, exchange knowledge and good practices and debate on equal footing. Read more
