The group of experts


In 2007 and 2008, the Experts Group, which is composed of specialists from around the world, prepared the draft Charter-Agenda under the oversight of the Catalan Institute of Human Rights.

The initial members of the Experts Group: 


  • North America
    Jules Patenaude
    Coordinator of Public Consultation and Participation, Town Council of Montréal
  • South America
    Sebastian Tedeschi
    Coordinator of America's Programme, Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE)
  • Sub-saharan Africa
    Davinder Lamba
    Coordinator of Operation Firimbi, Habitat International Coalition – Mazingira Institute
  • Asia
    Nicholas You
    Special Advisor for Strategic Planning, UN-HABITAT
  • Australia
    Andre Frankovits
    International Projects Director, Human Rights Council of Australia
  • Europe
    Monique Chemillier
    Professor of International Law, University of Paris VII
  • Arab World
    Madjid Benchikh
    Professor of Law, University of Cergy-Pontoise (Paris-Val-d’Oise)
  • Coordinator
    Jaume Saura
    Director of the Human Rights Institute of Catalonia
  • Other partners
    Boaventura de Sousa Santos
    Director del Centro de Estudos Sociais (Coimbra, Portugal)

When the Nantes Permanent Secretariat (SPIDH) was given the task of heading the UCLG's Human Rights and Local Governments work group, in late 2007, it invited the members of the World Forum on Human Rights' Scientific Committee to participate.

The group of experts thus formed is invited to suggest amendments to the initial draft of the Charter-Agenda and review the Promoter Group's proposals as well as those that may arise during the online participative process currently underway.
