ABOUT THE THEME OF THE CONFERENCE:
The year 2023 signifies a significant milestone in the realm of human rights, as it marks the 75th Human Rights Day, celebrated on December 10. This occasion offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the progress achieved in advancing the cause of human rights while recognizing the complexities and challenges that persist in our contemporary world.
Against this backdrop, Centre for Law and Human Rights and Centre for Law and Economics, HNLU is proposing for a One-Day Online International Conference on ‘Human Rights in a Contemporary World: Prospects and Challenges’. The conference aims to evaluate the extent to which the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have been realized. The conference also seeks to address the contemporary challenges that human rights face in the 21st century. These challenges encompass a wide spectrum, including issues related to climate change, gender equality, and the impact of the digital age on fundamental rights. By shedding light on these challenges, the conference underscores the ongoing hurdles in the human rights landscape.
The conference also seeks to serve a platform to explore innovative solutions, policies, and practices that can advance the cause of human rights. These discussions will be relevant at both the global and local levels, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach to human rights.
In commemorating the 75th Human Rights Day in 2023, it becomes increasingly crucial to reiterate our unwavering commitment to the fundamental principles of human rights. It seeks to inspire action and foster collaboration, ultimately striving for a world where human rights are universally respected, protected, and fulfilled.
