HRC56: Summit of the Future? Civil Society Must Reclaim the United Nations

HRC56: Summit of the Future? Civil Society Must Reclaim the United Nations

On 21 June, our Executive Director, Magdalena Sepúlveda, participated in the 56th session of the Human Rights Council at a side event on “Summit of the Future? Civil Society Must Reclaim the United Nations.” The event was co-sponsored with Rosa Luxembourg Stiftung, FIAN International, CETIM, the Society for International Development, and Geneva Global Health Hub, among other organisations.

The panel composed by Rini Elizabath Babu (Geneva Graduate Institute's Applied Research Project Team), Melik Özden represents (CETIM, Centre Europe), Nicoletta Dentico (Society for International Development and the Geneva Global Health Hub-G2H2), Maithili Pai (International Service for Human Rights-ISHR), and our Executive Director, Magdalena Sepúlveda, discussed how civil society participation has been limited in the “Summit of the Future” processes. Against the backdrop of a trust and cooperation crisis in multilateralism and the weakening of intergovernmental coordination mechanisms, civil society organisations are raising the alarm.
