ACF presents the Justice for Muttur campaign at the 3rd International Human Rights Forum in Nantes, France, in order to increase Human Rights Defenders awareness on the issue and to have their support.
The Forum of Nantes was created, from the start (in 2004), to support and develop the networks of actors involved in the protection, the respect and the implementation of the Human Rights by strengthening the solidarity between these different actors (political leaders, ONG activists, academics and international experts, representatives of international organisations...).
Organised by the permanent international secretariat Human Rights and Local Governments, association under French Law (Law 1901), the third forum took place at the International Convention Center of Nantes Métropole.
The 3rd of July, day when ACF was present, the main theme was : Local Governance and Human Rights: efficacy within the reach of citizens?
