Declaration +25: new video available!

The Secretariat of the Declaration +25 marked the International Human Rights Defenders' Day on 9 December 2024 by launching a new video. 

The video explains in 1:40 min what is the Declaration +25, how it was developed, its relevance and how it should be used.

The Declaration +25 supplements the 1998 UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. Together they form a comprehensive set of standards to protect the right to defend rights.

Human rights defenders, legal scholars, civil society organisations, international and regional human rights mechanisms and State authorities are encouraged to use the Declaration +25 as an authoritative document that sets out standards when it comes to protecting the right to defend rights and those who exercise it.

The video was created jointly with Candle City.
