10 December 2024: Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now. Today marks Human Rights Day, commemorating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. At the Dutch Institute for Safe & Secure Spaces, we recognise that safe and secure spaces are fundamental to protecting human rights and fostering inclusive, resilient societies. Through our research and collaborations, we develop strategies and tools to ensure public spaces remain publicly accessible, private spaces remain private, and personal spaces remain personal, whilst protecting individual freedoms and rights. We secure human rights and ethics in our works in different ways. For example through the themes we focus on. Tools and projects we contribute to address a wide range of issues that threaten human rights, such as labour exploitation, human trafficking and criminal exploitation. We have also established policy on equality, equity and inclusion, for example through our Equality Plan. All of this is due to our drive to create and support environments where human rights flourish.

Core human rights instruments contain no temporal limitation to the enjoyment of human rights. There is a growing recognition that a “business as usual” approach is exposing the Earth, present generations (particularly children and youth), as well as future generations to mounting crises. Yet, international governance remains often driven by short-term priorities to the detriment of intragenerational and intergenerational equity. Today at 2pm CEST, uring the ongoing 57th session of the UN Human Rights Council, join us, FIAN International and United Nations Human Rights Special Procedures, for a side event on the legal norms related to the human rights of future generations and opportunities to better protect their human rights, including with regard to the Maastricht Principles and the UN Declaration on Future Generations.

Celebrating International Human Rights Day - December 10th. 🌍 Today, we celebrate International Human Rights Day!
