The Forum on Human Rights is organised by the International Permanent Secretariat Human Rights and Local Governments

This forum was created from its inception (2004) at the initiative of UNESCO (SHS), to support the networks of actors involved in the protection, respect, and implementation of human rights by strengthening solidarity between these different actors (policy makers, activists and NGO leaders, academics and international experts, representatives of international organisations, etc.). During the World Forum on Human Rights, everyone is invited to converse freely, exchange knowledge and good practices and debate on equal footing.
