Considering that the Committee on Human Rights and Freedoms of the Parliament of Montenegro is recognized as an important element of protection and promotion of human rights, the attendees of the School of Human Rights expressed their interest in visiting the Committee, and learning about its competences and activities which this working body undertakes in order to promote, protect, and affirm human rights.
On that same day, together with representative of the US Embassy and executive director of the Centre for Civic Education (CCE) Ms Daliborka Uljarević, chairperson of the Committee on Human Rights and Freedoms Mr Halil Duković will present certificates to attendees of the 19th generation of the School of Human Rights.
The School of Human Rights provides broad theoretical and practical knowledge on the concept of human rights, affirms the culture of human rights by inspiring and motivating people to advocate for their rights, as well as for the rights of those who are unable to do so themselves and empowers them to have a more direct influence in society in the future. Its goal is to establish a continuous alternative education on human rights. During the previous eighteen generations, the School has been finished by more than 500 citizens, activists of political parties, NGOs, state employees at the local and national level, journalists, students and others who had shown interest to link their actions to the public scene and provide a personal contribution to realising human and minority rights in Montenegro.
