IAHRAG's Cocktail Reception

As the UN marks its 80th anniversary, civil society’s struggle to sustain meaningful participation in multilateral spaces remains as challenging as ever. IAHRAG, firmly believing that civil society participation is essential to represent the “peoples” upon which the UN was founded, aims to organize an event on the occasion of Human Rights Day (10 December) to highlight the vital role of civil society in advancing the goals of the UN, particularly the promotion of respect for human rights.

The event will also serve as a space for reflection on civil society’s ongoing struggle for participation and representation within the UN system, to examine the barriers that continue to hinder its engagement, and to discuss possible solutions to overcome the exclusion of so-called “unwanted” NGOs.

Organized in an informal format, the evening will also serve as a networking opportunity to strengthen partnerships and dialogue among different actors, and as an occasion to present the IAHRAG 2024 Annual Report, highlighting the organization’s activities and achievements over the past year.
