IIMA Human Rights Office - Geneva

The mission of the Office is to create and promote a network between the Institute of the FMAs and the United Nations, its bodies and mechanisms for the protection and promotion of Human Rights. We seek to participate in drafting of international policies aimed at promoting the “Right to Education for All”. To this end, the Office organizes training courses, gives international visibility to the activities realized by the Institute worldwide and promotes new collaboration networks.

Welcome!

Dear friends,

We are glad to inform you that after our pleasant experience with the Italian blog, the IIMA Human Rights Office has decided to open a new blog in English.

On this blog, you may follow our main activities with the United Nations and its mechanisms for the protection and promotion of human rights, as well as news from the UN bodies and IIMA offices in different countries related to the right to education.

Do you want to collaborate with us? You can apply for an internship at the IIMA Human Rights Office. Click here!

Have a great time reading!
