Advocacy Project: News from the HR Defenders Summit
****************************************************************
Announcement
****************************************************************
The Advocacy Project has been invited to produce a series of the
E-letter 'On the Record' for the World Summit of Human Rights
Defenders that will take place in Paris, December 8-11. This unique
event will bring together over 300 human rights campaigners to
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. The defenders will draw up an action
plan to ensure greater protection for those at the forefront of the
campaign for HR. They want to shift the focus of the international
human rights system from governments to civil society. On the Record
will bring you news of the meeting and profiles of key defenders
throughout the week. The E-letter will also be posted on project's
website http://www.advocacynet.org

THE ADVOCACY PROJECT is motivated by four goals. In the first place,
it seeks to better understand the role of advocacy in countries that
are either in crisis or emerging from crisis. Second, it aims to
identify the information needs of these advocates and communicate
these to donors. Third, it aims to build support for humanitarian
principles among these advocates. Finally, it seeks to use information
technology to empower these advocates.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO VISIT PROJECT'S WEBSITE http://www.advocacynet.org
for information on the past and upcoming projects. Current projects
under review include coverage of the Nigerian Presidential elections,
Documenting Women's Human Rights Violations training in Cambodia, and
the Hague Call for Peace.
