Human Rights at Sea
We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar, “Human Rights at Sea,” scheduled for Tuesday, 10th December 2024, online via Zoom.
This session promises to be a fascinating exploration of human rights at sea. Our distinguished speakers will present a broad overview of the subject along with fresh perspectives on the environmental challenges at sea, the rights of Aboriginal people, and the struggles faced by sea-faring communities, such as the Bajau Laut people of Sabah, Malaysia. Through their insights, we will gain a deeper understanding of how human rights intersect with the often-overlooked world of maritime life.
This is a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of these urgent issues from leading experts. We invite you to be part of this important conversation and contribute your thoughts.
This webinar is hosted by the Human Rights Committee in collaboration with the Environmental Law Committee, and Indigenous Communities and Peoples Committee.
