Thank you, M. President
I speak on behalf of 25 organizations .
We would like, first of all, to thank the Member States, and particularly the Platform for Human Rights Education and Training , for their participation in the high-level panel discussion that took place in September on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training. The World Programme for Human Rights Education is an essential tool for implementing the UN Declaration, by providing a concrete framework for action and by strengthening partnerships and cooperation at all levels.
We are in the Third Phase of the World Programme (2015-2019) , which aims to promote social inclusion of marginalised groups; foster interreligious and intercultural dialogue; and combat stereotypes and violence, with a particular emphasis on the role of journalists and other media professionals.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has recently invited all Member States and National Human Rights Institutions to submit information on national implementation of the third phase of the World Programme. We urge all Member States to contribute their national feedback, due on 18 April.
Human rights education is a sustainable approach to address the root causes of any human rights violations, concerning all people, and is key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Human Rights Education requires the involvement of all relevant actors, including the participation of civil society at all stages of the policy-making processes.
In this spirit, the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning is co-organizing an exhibition on Human Rights Education with SGI and HRE2020 , with thanks to the OHCHR. You are most welcome to visit.
I thank you.
