From November 5 to 12, more than 53 human rights advocates from Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe participated in the XI International Human Rights Colloquium, organized by Conectas. During the event, they had the opportunity to share experiences on the “Implementation of international and regional human rights decisions and recommendations”. The conference, which was held in São Paulo (Brazil), was also attended by 30 observers and speakers.
Over the period of a week, the participants addressed the challenges and opportunities involved with implementing human rights decisions and recommendations on the national level. They discussed real experiences with the United Nations and with regional human rights systems (Organization of American States, African Union, Council of Europe and ASEAN).
