To better understand how digital technologies can best facilitate meaningful stakeholder engagement efforts, OHCHR is convening a series of online consultations in line with Human Rights Council Resolution 53/3.
The first consultation in this series (held in November 2024) explored the existing landscape of tools, and the opportunities, limitations and challenges they presented as regards facilitating meaningful stakeholder engagement.
This second consultation will dig deeper into the limitations of technology in this context to better understand where human involvement in stakeholder engagement activities is necessary or desirable to ensure that such activities are meaningful and rights compatible. In other words – what can technology do and what must humans do? Where is human judgment most important and why?
The consultation will be conducted online and will take place on two successive days:
- Session 1: Monday, 8 December 2025 @ 15-17h30 CET
- Session 2: Tuesday, 9 December 2025 @ 10-12h30 CET
