Our actions
The actions planned:
- To organise the World Forum on Human Rights every two years
- To spread knowledge and information (basic and practical) and to organise exchanges among members of the Nantes Forum network by becoming primarily interested in local action “inspired” by Human Rights, notably through electronic media.
- To develop, in collaboration with UCLG an international observatory for enforcing human rights at local level, notably within cities and/or under the responsibility of the local authorities.
- To promote actions aiming to respect, protect and enforce rights, as led by the local authorities (or within their territory), whether by themselves or as a network.
- To participate, using all appropriate means and with all the relevant partners, in thought processes and actions dedicated to human rights, such as being a reference player at international level on the theme of Human Rights and Local Governments.

- International Coalition of Cities Against Racism (Nantes – represented by Delphine Bouffenie - vice-president of the european coalition chaired by the City of Nuremberg). In partnership with UNESCO. The international coalition firstly gathered during the 3rd World Forum on Human Rights on the 30th of June 2008.
- The European Cities for Human Rights’ Network, which signed the European Charter for Human Rights in the City.
- The Local and Regional Authorities’ Congress of the Council of Europe
http://www.coe.int/DefaultEN.asp - Since 28 September 2009, the City of Nantes has become a "Cities - Human Rights" Pole in collaboration with the UNPD (United Nations Programme Development) within the framework of the Cities against Poverty World Alliance. So the SPIDH has been given the charge of providing the monitoring of the relations between the City of Nantes and the UNPD and also the relations within the Cities against Poverty World Alliance.
