The Strasbourg Conference on International Law & Human Rights
"The Role of International Law to Promote Sustainable Development, Youth Empowerment & Women's Rights"

Conference Overview

Some of the major obstacles obstructing the implementation of such a global human rights system are the economic interests and inequalities of the world as well as the lack of legislation with regards to issues of youth and women's rights, which permeates the international community. Any efforts at supporting universal human rights must therefore be accompanied by legislation that promotes sustainable development as well as the protection of the rights of youth and women, which together make up the majority of the world population. In addition, issues of global justice must be incorporated as an integral part into international law in order to assure its positive progress and long term success.
The Strasburg Conference on International Law & Human Rights will gather a broad range of stakeholders to explore and analyze these issues and will formulate recommendations for joint strategies for immediate and future implementation. The Conference will create and publish a proposal document that will then be publically presented to the international community.
