70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 23/6/2018

人權星期六 — 《世界人權宣言》70週年與國際人權公約

70年前，聯合國通過《世界人權宣言》，列出有關人權之一般原則，作為「所有人民和所有國家努力實現的共同標準」。

《世界人權宣言》已然存在70年，作為國際人權公約《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》和《經濟、社會及文化權利國際公約》的基礎。這些公約亦在《基本法》中訂明適用於香港。然而，香港人是否熟悉這些國際人權法中的人權原則？另一方面，香港政府又有多努力推廣這些國際人權法？我們很榮幸邀得一直致力捍衛人權的陳文敏教授為我們分享，亦與觀眾一同探討《世界人權宣言》及兩公約對當今的香港和國際社會的重要性。

日期：2018年6月23日（星期六）
時間：下午3時30分至5時15分
地點：觀塘巧明街94-96號鴻圖中心8樓C室（由牛頭角地鐵B5出口步行5分鐘）
講者：香港大學法律學院 陳文敏教授

70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - UDHR & the International Bill of Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected, was adopted by the United Nations 70 years ago as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations.

The UDHR has now been in place for 70 years. However, how well do people in Hong Kong know about the UDHR? It has inspired the adoption of the International Bill of Human Rights - The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, both of which are referred to in our Basic Law. On the other hand, how well has the Hong Kong government promoted the UDHR and the two International Covenants and complied with these human rights requirements? We are honoured to have Professor Johannes Chan, who has been defending human rights for years, to share his thoughts with us, and to discuss with the audience how important the UDHR and the two international Covenants are to Hong Kong, as well as to the international community today.
