5th Forum for Human Rights

The International Permanent Secretariat Human Rights and Local Governments (SPIDH Nantes – Pays de la Loire) is organizing the 5^th Forum for Human Rights taking place in Nantes France at La Cité – Nantes Events Center from 22 May to 25 May 2013. The Forums objective is to gather different actors working in the field of implementing Human Rights in order to promote an exchange of experiences and ideas.

One of the three main themes of the Forum will be equality between human beings in times of crisis under which women’s rights and gender equality will be addressed.

SPIDH is a French association based in Nantes and they organized their first World Forum on Human Rights in 2008. The broader mission of the SPIDH, in addition to the organization of the Forum, is to gather and facilitate the action of a network of stakeholders involved in the protection and the implementation of Human Rights, especially at local level.

SPIDH has coordinated the work on the concept and drafting of the Global Charter Agenda on Human Rights in the City within the world organization for local authorities, UCLG (United Cities and Local Governments), a document adopted by the UCLG representative bodies in December 2011.
