Beyond crisis !

For the 2800 participants of the 4^th World Forum on Human Rights of Nantes, none of the economical, social, food related and environmental crisis could justify drawbacks in the saveguarding of human rights around the world. Far from being inevitable, these crisis force us to rethink the implementation of human rights and to imagine answers for the future.


During 4 years, Nantes was the world capital of human rights. And according to most of the participants, of whom some are regulars, the 4^th edition is a success: participation broke all records with 2800 participants over 100 different nationalities and around 30 round tables were organised.
