From May 22 through May 26, 2023, we explored the past, present, and future of human rights in a variety of activities throughout the city of Maastricht.<\/h4>\n

The 175th anniversary of the Dutch Constitution and the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which upholds equality, justice, and freedom for all, are both observed in 2023. This week aimed to encourage everyone to join the fight for a more just world by increasing awareness of human rights. Each day held a distinct theme:<\/p>\n

Monday: We are all human rights defenders.<\/h4>\n

The Human Rights Week was officially launched by Mayor Penn-te Strake, followed by speeches by prominent actors in the human rights field such as Pamela Habibovic, rector magnificus Maastricht University, Wytze van der Woude, director of Constitutional Affairs and Legislation, Jacobine Geel, president of the Human Rights Board, Jan de Vries, human rights lawyer.<\/p>\n
