Event title: Transforming the Human Rights System: Treaty Body Strengthening, the Pact for the Future, and CSO Meaningful Participation
Date: Saturday 21 September 2024
Time: 11 AM New York / 12 PM Santiago / 6 PM Nairobi / 10 PM Bangkok
As part of TB-NET, IWRAW Asia Pacific is co-hosting a virtual Summit of the Future side event on Saturday 21 September at 11 AM New York / 12 PM Santiago / 6 PM Nairobi / 10 PM Bangkok. This event aims to inform civil society, including women’s rights and feminist organisations, about current developments in the Treaty Body System, which is crucial to claiming rights for everyone.
We will also seek to demystify the Treaty Body Strengthening process and articulate meaningful participation of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the Treaty Body process. The speakers and the audience will reimagine the implementation of the Pact for the Future and its annexes to the fulfillment of the universality, indivisibility, and interrelatedness of human rights norms and standards. Together, we will identify key recommendations to be transmitted to relevant stakeholders on the Treaty Body Strengthening Process and Chapter 5 of the Pact for the Future.
