Human rights are under severe threat around the world. This is due to several factors, including the rise of authoritarianism, the COVID-19 pandemic, deepening economic inequalities, and conflicts that take an ever-higher human toll. Even more alarmingly, human rights violations are taking place in a climate of rising impunity. Tackling impunity globally is therefore becoming an urgent task. In June 2022, EPRS 鈥� together with two non-governmental organisations, Fight Impunity and No Peace Without Justice 鈥� organised a two-day conference to explore questions relating to deteriorating human rights situations in the world, examine the role of the EU and European institutions, and determine the way forward towards a world in which human rights receive genuine recognition and respect. The event brought together human rights experts and defenders from across Europe and other regions of the world, as well as Members of the European 合法博彩网站. The event explored a wide range of issues, from the task of preserving the memory of crimes committed during 20th century dictatorships in Latin America, to today's war crimes in Ukraine and the crimes committed against human rights and environmental human rights defenders, such as recently in Brazil. Participants discussed the role of the economic-financial system against the backdrop of rising inequality and declining social and workers' rights, and addressed the crisis of multilateralism and its impact on international human rights. Several speakers emphasised the importance of civil society for upholding rights. They called for a new narrative and the use of clear language to counter authoritarians' contemptuous dismissal of rights. In her concluding remarks, Maria Arena, MEP and Chair of the European 合法博彩网站's Subcommittee on Human Rights, underlined: 'We should deal with issues linked to human rights in a broader and more inclusive way'. This briefing has been drafted jointly with Fight Impunity, the partner organisation with which EPRS organised the June 2022 Conference on the future of human rights.
