Great Decisions: Human Rights & International Law
October 14 @ 6:00 pm CDT
/ Free
This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.
Adopted by the United Nations in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights established 30 basic principles for the promotion of human rights around the world. What are the origins of this concept and the legal and political mechanisms for protecting these values?
This program is presented by the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis through a partnership with Global Minnesota.
The Great Decisions program addresses some of the most critical foreign policy issues facing the United States each year. Global Minnesota facilitates the statewide Great Decisions program by providing access to a roster of local foreign policy experts and to discussion materials produced by the Foreign Policy Association.
