Human rights and democracy go hand in hand. The two concepts are deeply intertwined. But is democracy in practice a precondition for the protection of human rights? What is the role of human rights in autocratic states?

We are looking forward to an interesting keynote speech and debate with:

Delilah von Streng, Research Fellow at the Swiss Centre of Expertise in Human Rights (Keynote)

Stefanie Bosshard, Director at the Swiss Democracy Foundation

Michael Ineichen, Head of Advocacy at Amnesty International Switzerland

Gilles Roduit, Deputy Head at the Peace and Human Rights Division, FDFA

The panel will be hosted by Prof. Laurent Goetschel, Director of swisspeace.

Organised by foraus Basel, Democracy without Borders and swisspeace.

Admission is free and we will offer an aperitif afterwards.
