Exploring People-Centred Justice: Join The Team Of UpRights At The Peace&Justice Café!
07-06-2023
UpRights is pleased to announce its participation to the upcoming Peace&Justice Café event organised by The Hague Humanity Hub in collaboration with The Hague Institute for the Innovation of Law.
The event, as part of Hague Justice Week, will focus on the concept of “People-Centred Justice” which is an idea that emphasizes the necessity, for legal practices and systems, to become evidence-based, outcome-oriented, and accessible to the people they serve. The Peace&Justice Café is a fundamental networking event for human rights professional that fosters and strengthens the collaboration towards a more just world, providing us with the opportunity to collectively come up with concrete solutions to tackle today’s complex and urgent problems. Launched by the Hague Humanity Hub in collaboration with the Municipality of The Hague and The Hague Institute for the Innovation of Law, the event brings together peacebuilders, justice innovators, researchers, humanitarians, impact entrepreneurs, policymakers, and other changemakers from The Hague and beyond to foster an environment of profitable exchange and mutual enriching.
The Peace&Justice Café is based on the “roundabout” sessions: a series of small-scale, interactive and informative discussions aimed at providing an environment for conversation and information sharing among the participants.
Through their contribution, UpRights co-directors and founders Valérie Gabard and Asa Solway will underline the importance of employing an inclusive and people-centred approach to using international law to promote human rights and ensure accountability for serious human rights violations. They will consider the opportunities and challenges in employing international law to empower local and national actors to promote human rights by exploring practical examples of its implementation in the pursuit of justice. Alongside the active engagement of the participants, the session will provide the opportunity to discuss innovative legal pathways, strategies to build partnerships and lessons learned from employing people-centred justice in the context of international law.
Meet us at the Peace&Justice Café on June 8 by registering here and join the conversation!
Let’s meet.
UpRights is based in The Hague, Netherlands
