IIPS Participating in Diplomatic Conference in Venice

Hubert Smekal from the Czech Centre for Human Rights and Democratization attended Diplomatic Conference in Venice on Review of the Human Rights Council, organized by the EIUC - European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation. The representatives of the scholarly public, European Union, foreign ministries of the EU Member States and UN human rights bodies all participated in the conference. Alongside of the assesment of an existing functioning of the Human Rights Council and sharing stances towards the review conference, which will be held next year, the criticism of not always harmonious cooperation among EU Member States on the UN ground has also been raised.
