3rd World Forum on Human Rights' activities
The World Forum on Human Rights is first and foremost a platform for dialogue, heeding and sharing among activists, officials of non-gouvernmental organisations, representations of the United Nations, representatives of local authorities, elected officials, lega experts and engaged citizens.
The Forum proposes plenary sessions and round tables but also other activities and means of participation may also be organised upon the initiative of participants. Cultural events may notably be organised in order to reflect cultural diversity, to help understand one’s Neighbour and to enhance mutual respect among the different races and cultures represented. Any proposals for exhibitions should be submitted to the Scientific Commission for assessment and approval.
