Seminar | How Does the UN Monitor Human Rights Practices? Taiwanese and Hong Kong Practitioners Share Their Perspectives
Last edited: 2026-07-27
What is the relationship between the United Nations and human rights? How can civil society utilize mechanisms to influence member states' decision-making and advance reform? What is international lobbying and how does it work in practice? How can Taiwan, having long been shut out of the United Nations, align with international human rights mechanisms?
Discussing UN human rights mechanisms purely in theory can be very abstract. JRF has invited human rights practitioners from Taiwan and abroad, including the Covenants Watch and overseas Hong Kong practitioners, to bring us firsthand insights from the ground! In addition, this seminar will analyze and discuss the concluding observations from Hong Kong's recent review under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in July.
Furthermore, this event is being held at Gung Lok to show our mutual support for businesses that stand with Taiwan. Attendees will #receive a complimentary cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea!
Friends who want to understand the practical operations of the United Nations won't want to miss this sharing session!
