In a world marked by war, geopolitical rivalry and shrinking civic space, what is the future of human rights? How can international human rights norms remain credible when they are increasingly contested or violated? And what can be done to safeguard human dignity and the international rule-based order? During this evening, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk will reflect on the state of human rights worldwide, the importance of the international human rights architecture embodied in the United Nations system, and the pressures posed by conflict, climate change, digital technologies and increasing polarization.
