The Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA) is organising a discussion to explore and reflect on the significance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) within the Asian context. The session features a compelling intergenerational dialogue with prominent human rights defenders and activists, bridging perspectives from the past and future of the Asian human rights movement. This introspective discussion aims to reflect on the 75-year journey of the UDHR while envisioning its future amidst the contemporary challenges faced by human rights in Asia. Emphasizing mutual learning and understanding, the dialogue seeks to rekindle a narrative of human rights and solidarity based on the fundamental principles enshrined in the UDHR.
