The Inaugural Human Rights Lecture: Human Rights in a Fractured World Tickets, Thu 2 May 2024 at 17:30 | Eventbrite

Ban Ki-moon's ten years as Secretary General to the United Nations was marked by many successes. Throughout, he strove to enhance human rights globally. Indeed, Ban Ki-moon's other successes - such as the Sustainable Development Goals, establishing UN Women, and the Paris agreement to limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees celcius - can all be seen as enhancing human rights broadly defined. The Sustainable Development Goals promote the whole range of economic and social rights. UN Women "is the UN organization delivering programmes, policies and standards that uphold women's human rights". And the climate crisis threatens the rights of millions, most immediately those who will be displaced, and those facing famine and disease as a result of climate change. Ban Ki-moon will reflect on the urgent need to defend and promote human rights, and will place this in the broader context of the need to promote women's rights, pursue the Sustainable Development Goals, and tackle the climate crisis.

Professor Jonathan Michie, President of Kellogg College will chair the event.

Refreshments will be served from 5pm; the seminar will begin at 5.30pm. Post-event drinks will be served in the Hub at 6.30pm.
