High-Level Thematic Debate on Human Rights<\/strong><\/h2>\n

12-13 July 2016, UN Headquarters in New York<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To reinforce the foundations needed for the enjoyment of human rights, identify how action to realize human rights can contribute to progress on peace and security and sustainable development and vice-versa, and highlight ways to strengthen the United Nations’ role and effectiveness in this area, the President of the General Assembly, H.E. Mogens Lykketoft, is organising a High-level Thematic Debate of the UN General Assembly focused on Human Rights on 12-13 July 2016.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Titled UN@70: Human Rights at the centre of the global agenda<\/strong><\/a>, the debate will allow UN member states to consider the means, instruments and practices available within a UN-context to tackle human rights challenges as well as the responsibilities and institutions required for the enjoyment of human rights in today’s world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Building on a demand for a stronger focus on human rights across all aspects of society, this debate will take place as recent agendas, reviews and action plans demonstrate the ever-increasing linkages between the three pillars of the UN alongside the need to ensure that each pillar is given equal prominence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
