Context


In 2018, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the World Conference on Human Rights which took place from 14 to 25 June 1993 in Vienna, Austria. Due to this event, a High Level Expert Conference on Human Rights with the title "Vienna+25: Building Trust – Making Human Rights a Reality for All" is taking place in Vienna on May 22nd and 23rd. In 1993, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action (VDPA) adopted at the World Conference is a landmark document for the promotion and protection of human rights: among others, the universality of all human rights was affirmed, the realisation of human rights as a priority objective of the United Nations and a legitimate concern of the international community confirmed, the significance of the human rights of women highlighted, and, as a result, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and his office (OHCHR) were created.
