Conference

The New Zealand Centre for Public Law and the
Australian & New Zealand Society of International Law
announce:
Celebrating 60 years of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights

In 1948 New Zealand played a constructive and noticed role in assisting towards the formulation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). That involvement, like its outcome, we believe warrants suitable recognition in this the 60th anniversary year of the UDHR. The aims of this conference include:

• An evaluation of 60 years of the UDHR as a living document
• An opportunity for scholars and human rights practitioners to expound their findings and concerns over contemporary human rights issues, particularly (but not exclusively) as they affect New Zealand.
• An opportunity to identify the key human rights challenges confronting the global community into the immediate and longer term future.

Looking to the next sixty years, the organisers are keen to have youth and student participation actively facilitated at all levels of proceedings.
