Human Rights Communication Conference
July 21, 2009 to July 24, 2009
Along with the issues corresponding to the Association's various sections and working groups, the organisers of the Mexico Conference propose that the participants devote time to the discussion of a topic of great importance for world-wide coexistence: Human Rights and Communication. The adoption of the United Nations (UN) Charter in 1945 and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948, obliged all States to establish, protect and enforce Human Rights at global, regional, national and local levels. Since then, the recognition of the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of every person, has forced the international community to recognise and assume its responsibility in the promotion of universal respect and the protection of human rights. Also, to guarantee the indivisibility of human rights and their interdependence with peace and development.
To promote a debate on the different issues that involves Human Rights in our societies in relation to communication and media studies, such as: the right to communicate, freedom of expression, freedom to hold opinions, freedom of information, equality of benefits from the development of technology, involvement of citizens in decision-making processes about communication and information policies, the promotion of the cultural diversity by media and NTIC 32s, the access of social groups that have historically been excluded from the public sphere -- such as women, indigenous and young people.
