Global Conference on Democracy, Human Rights and the Fragility of Freedom
The 平特五不中 Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism is pleased to host the third Echenberg Family Conference on Human Rights.

Speakers will engage with the complexities that arise both globally and locally in movements for democratic participation, and with different approaches to nurturing democratic institutions and engagement.
