Workshops & Seminars

GIHR organises workshops and seminars to promote human rights and to provide a platform for discussion on various topics. Its goal is to enable the participants to deepen their knowledge about human rights as well as to develop skills to make effective use of human rights procedures.

Previous workshops and seminars were held on a broad range of topics, such as

New Human Rights Conventions
Women’s Rights in Islam
Special regional issues
The International Criminal Court
Violence against women in Africa
The United Nations protection system of human rights
Children’s rights in Africa
and many more.

The Institute also co-organises seminars in cooperation with universities and different institutions.
