Together with key partners, ISHR regularly organises events in order to amplify human rights defenders’ voices and ensure they have a seat at the table when it comes to denouncing abuses and crafting solutions to the world’s challenges.
This event brings together defenders and UN experts to discuss the international human rights law obligations of States in respect of transnational repression against individuals and groups within their territory, as well as the strengthening of international standards, and gaps arising from shortcomings in their implementation domestically.
As the world faces a convergence of interlinked crises, this event will highlight the critical role of human rights defenders in seeking solutions and explore practices of safe and meaningful engagement while also identifying the challenges faced in different business contexts.
This UNGA80 side event seeks to make visible the continuing repression in Nicaragua, to give a voice to victims and affected communities, and to strengthen avenues for international protection and accountability.
This public event is an opportunity to discover ISHR’s new report, 'Budget Battles at the UN: How States try to Defund Human Rights', that uncovers how a small group of States - led by China and Russia - have coordinated efforts to block and slash funding for the UN’s human rights work through political manoeuvring and influence.
In a context of increasing and sustained violence against women human rights defenders around the world, especially those defending land and territory, this event proposes a dialogue about documentation as a protection strategy from an intersectional perspective.
Listen to the stories of four human rights defenders who have been banned from travelling by their own governments simply for trying to cooperate with the United Nations. Join us on Place des Nations on 16 September. Will you guess which suitcase belongs to whom?
