Within this framework, on 20 November in the morning, Members of the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) will meet with members of national parliaments of the EU Member States to discuss experiences at national level as well as strategic action and ideas for the way forward at European level. The discussions will be based on three thematic sessions: "Mainstreaming human rights into external action", "Business and Human Rights" and "Sustainable development and human rights".
The European Parliament has made full use of its powers to contribute to shaping the EU's policies and instruments in advancing human rights both inside and outside the EU. To renew this unshakeable commitment to the subject, the European Parliament held a High Level Conference to reflect on the core principles of human rights as set out in the UDHR: universality, inter-dependence and indivisibility, while at the same time addressing new challenges in a global and digital world
The President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani opened the conference in the presence of Vice President/High Representative Federica Mogherini, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, General Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Fatou Bensouda, and several other dignitaries.
