The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) organizes, with the support of the IPU, the second session of the Forum on Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law that will address the theme of Parliaments as promoters of human rights, democracy and the rule of law on 22 and 23 November at Palais des Nations in Geneva. The session aims at sharing good parliamentary practices on these issues, discussing existing and potential challenges for parliaments and ways to address them as well as further avenues for cooperation between the UN and parliaments.

Parliaments are kindly invited to send a delegation. More information on the meeting is available at https://www.ohchr.org/en/hrbodies/HRC/Democracy/Pages/ForumDemocracy.aspx
