Human rights violations continue to worsen, in a context where the space accorded to civil society is dangerously shrinking in a growing number of countries. Human rights defenders, engaged in the peaceful struggle against social and environmental injustices, are frequently the victims of violent repression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This round table, organised by <strong>five Luxembourg NGOs<\/strong> active in the field together with the <strong>UNESCO Chair of Human Rights<\/strong> at the University of Luxembourg, seeks to raise awareness of such troubling situations and to promote critical reflection on how they may most effectively be addressed. Panels will bring together human rights defenders from different global regions who will give accounts of their experiences, as well as representatives from civil society organisations, government, and academe. We are honoured that the event will be opened by a keynote address from <strong>Mary Lawlor<\/strong>, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"http:\/\/ulsurvey.uni.lu\/index.php\/892849?\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Register<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/fhse-en\/calendar?post_type=events&#038;p=20652&#038;calendar\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Add to calendar<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This round table seeks to raise awareness of such troubling situations and to promote critical reflection on how they may most effectively be addressed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":20754,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.54,"y":0.5},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2024-11-12 09:45:00","event_end_date":"2024-11-12 15:30:00","event_speaker_name":"","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Maison des Sciences Humaines, Black Box","event_street":"11 Porte des Sciences","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"4366","event_city":"Esch-sur-Alzette","event_country":"Luxembourg"},"events-topic":[447,314],"events-type":[326],"organisation":[179,147],"authorship":[43],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
