Report, Human Rights under threat: exploring new approaches in a challenging global context

This report aims to capture the discussions, analysis and recommendations from the 2017 Human Rights Forum on ‘Human Rights under threat: exploring new approaches in a challenging global context’, co-organised by the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Brussels-based Human Rights and Democracy Network (HRDN).

The Forum took place at a critical moment when international norms and standards are being challenged and many governments, who themselves signed up to the treaties, simply refuse to comply with obligations under international law – or go a step further creating a narrative against the human rights system. The report gives a sense of the diverse discussions and aims to provide a reference point for follow-up in 2018.
