Summary

Human rights are "part of our DNA," according to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, who is championing a new  Global Alliance at a time of rising conflicts, growing inequalities and mounting climate pressures. The initiative aims to bring together governments, civil society, businesses, academics and communities to place human rights at the centre of decision-making ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2028. Speaking to UN News's Srdan Slavkovic in Geneva, the global hub for human rights diplomacy and advocacy, Mr. Türk explained how the Alliance aims to inspire action.
