The centrality of human rights in preventing conflict and promoting sustainable peace is broadly recognised and established in the United Nations Charter. They are a key tool of the international community to help prevent, manage or resolve conflict. But to what extent are human rights considered during peacebuilding itself?

In this event, you will hear from current and former mediators and human rights experts on how human rights issues have been considered and integrated into different peace processes, and the challenges and opportunities they have encountered. The Berghof Foundation wants to explore how human rights can contribute to advance dialogue and find political solutions.
