Venice School of Human Rights 2012

The 3rd edition of Venice School of Human Rights will take place from 28 June till 7 July 2012.

The goal of the Venice School is to allow its participants to be updated on the state of the art debate on human rights issues and to stimulate a reflection on the actual challenges faced by human rights actors worldwide.

After a first session common to all participants dedicated to a general introduction on international systems of protection of human rights and related mechanisms, the programme will develop into the following three thematic clusters:

• Bussiness and Human Rights
• Development and Human Rights
• Transitional Justice and Fight against Impunity
