Notes: "The high-level international conference 'Empower Human Rights' on the role of the EU in UN human rights reform provided a forum where human rights experts from the leading European academic networks (e.g., Association of Human Rights Institutes-AHRI) discussed the key findings of their research projects with high-level representatives of the UN and EU. These debates also included practical policy recommendations to the EU, UN and member states. Additionally, the PhD training school 'Empowerment through Human Rights' was part of the conference where students presented their innovative theses of various disciplines related to human rights"--Page 4 of cover.
