Geneva Human Rights Platform

The Geneva Human Rights Platform (GHRP) is a project of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights. It provides a neutral and dynamic forum of interaction in Geneva for all stakeholders in the field of human rights – experts, practitioners, diplomats and civil society – to debate topical issues and challenges related to the functioning of the Geneva-based human rights system. Relying on academic research and findings, it works to enable various actors to be better connected, break silos, and, hence, advance human rights. As a ‘Mechanisms Lab’, the GHRP supports the international community to engineer solutions to ensure the sustainable functioning of the Geneva-based human rights mechanisms and bodies, allowing them to address human rights challenges effectively. The GHRP supports the international community in engaging more effectively with the Geneva-based human rights mechanisms and bodies to address current human rights challenges. Its Training Hub builds the capacity of civil society and other stakeholders on the Geneva-based international human rights system, its use and its impact on various policy areas.
