On the sidelines of the 58th session of the Human Rights Council, the Geneva Rights and Environment Talks aimed to harness the opportunity of this moment of the year to reflect on the challenges posed by the rapid decline of nature and biodiversity, and on how Geneva contributes to bringing together the actors working towards ensuring the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is upheld for all.
Considering the too often dramatic human rights situation at sea, this Geneva Rights and Environment Talk will discuss the obligations of Member States to respect, protect and full human rights related to the ocean, including the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. The talk will tackle possible ways forward in ensuring that human rights are applied equally at sea as they do on land.
