Human Rights and Their Development
Historical moments such as the Magna Carta, the Age of Enlightenment and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have shaped their development, reflecting changing social values and legal frameworks for the protection of human dignity and freedom
Discrimination, Intolerance, Language and Hate Crimes
Discrimination, intolerance, hate speech and hate crimes lead to human rights violations, while the commemoration aims to raise awareness and ensure that these unpleasant events do not happen again. The Roma minority has suffered major human rights violations throughout history, so it is essential to educate multipliers to oppose these violations.
Democracy, Active Citizenship and Participation
Democracy, which means “people power”, is closely related to human rights and works best through empowered citizens who participate equally and are aware of the tools that illuminate the legal and political framework.
International Human Rights Instruments
International instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights protect and guarantee human rights. These documents provide common standards and mechanisms for the protection of dignity and fundamental freedoms for all individuals.
