Lecture | The Human Rights Council in the Current Geopolitical Context

Thursday, November 3, 2022, 5:00 pm

Free

Based on the premise that there is no true peace and security when human rights are absent, and achieving sustainable development requires respect for all human rights, it has become evident that the role of the Human Rights Council – which was designed to promote and protect human rights around the globe – is today more important than ever in our pursuit of a better world for future generations.

Since it began functioning 16 years ago, the Human Rights Council has tackled countless human rights issues worldwide and has kept them in focus while at the same time widening the scope on issues it addresses – both thematic and country situations. The Council has also served as an early warning system by sounding alarm bells on of impending or worsening crises and has been effective in responding to crises – both protracted and emerging – all over the world.

By referring to its different tools and mechanisms, Ambassador Villegas will make the case of the increased relevance of the Human Rights Council at this critical historic moment when we are witnessing the simultaneous occurrence of world shaping events, all of which have huge humanitarian impact and long-lasting consequences: the COVID-19 pandemic (with a weak recovery and the risk of stagflation); climate change and, more recently, the war in Ukraine steaming from the Russian aggression.

Ambassador Federico Villegas is a lawyer and career diplomat. He entered the Argentine foreign service with honours in 1993.
