Forum Opening Speech: Accountability and Human Rights
Dr. Chaloka Beyani, Former UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons, Prof. of International Law and Human Rights at the London School of Economics, will give us some keys to understand some of today’s burning issues: the rise of populism and of inequality, the questioning of multilateral institutions such as the UN Human Rights Council, protracted conflicts, as well as the prospects for resistance. Dr. Chaloka Beyani will provide an overview of the political, security, identity and social challenges that face us by focusing on these main fault lines, with an emphasis on migrations.
The speech will be given in english with a simultaneous translation in French.
