About Summer School:

Human rights and social justice have a shared goal of human dignity and equality for all. The issues that make social justice difficult to achieve, such as poverty, exclusion and discrimination, are in direct contradiction with human rights, which apply to all individuals indiscriminately. The fundamental human right of freedom of expression is the touchstone of all the freedoms and is central to the democratic rights and freedoms. It is essential for enabling democracy to work and for facilitating public participation in decision-making. This right is important for individual dignity as well as for accountability and democracy. Freedom encompasses the freedom of speech to individuals and press, assembly and association and the corollary of this freedom is the right to receive information and disseminate with responsibility. Continuous efforts are being made to secure the right to freedom of expression and right to information.

The Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human rights reads thus, “Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people…” Further, in article 19, the Declaration states that, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights provides the right to freedom of expression, subject to certain restrictions that are “in accordance with law” and “necessary in a democratic society”. This right includes the freedom to hold opinions, and to receive and impart information and ideas. Articles 6 and 8 of UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders provide that people have the right to seek, obtain, receive and hold information about human rights and fundamental freedom; and to have effective access to participation in the government. States should ensure that people are able to peacefully protest, publicize and circulate information and criticize the failure of governments to protect or promote human rights.

Violations of freedom of expression often result in other violations, including the right to freedom of association and assembly. Threats to the freedom of expression of any person anywhere are threats to the freedom of all people everywhere. Violations of human rights and the right of free expression have been recorded in the history of virtually every country. In the present scenario, the phrase ‘freedom of expression’ requires a revisit. In this background, the summer school aims at addressing the jurisprudential and enforcement issues relating to right to freedom of expression in the international as well as national arena.

About INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE:

The United Nations has been celebrating June 5 every year from 1974 as the flagship day for promoting worldwide awareness and action for the environment. The celebration has become one of the most participated platforms for raising awareness of the environment and nature conservation; and targets specific environmental issues with concerns ranging from pollution to global warming and sustainable food production to protection of wildlife

World Environment Day 2022 is organized by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and hosted by Sweden. “Only One Earth" is the campaign slogan, with the focus on “Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”. World Environment Day 2022 theme, ‘Only One Earth’, focuses on living sustainably in harmony with nature. 2022 marks 50 years since Stockholm Conference which led to the designation of 5 June as World Environment Day.

India, one of the mega-diverse countries of the world, supports more than 8% of global bio-diversity and has a rich tradition and culture of protection and conserving nature. It is a deep-rooted practice in our societies and is reflected in our traditional and indigenous practices, folklore, arts and crafts, religious beliefs, rituals, in our daily lives. The alarming rate of environmental degradation, bio-diversity deterioration, species vulnerability and habitat destruction is indicating that we have to look to our traditions and practices; increase the awareness and identify the role of the youth in the context of inter and intra-generational equity. The country has developed a comprehensive environmental law regime with institutional capacity to carry out the internationally aligned legal obligations and mandates. This conference is organized to bring together a team of international and national stakeholders to take forward the movement for a cleaner, fairer, pollution free and more ethical world, connected to nature.
