Webinar – The next chapter in the struggle for UNDROP: learning about the new UN Working Group

Online – Wednesdey April 24th 12-2pm UTC

For International Peasants’Day (April 17th), Defending Peasants’ Rights and La Via Campesina invite you to their webinar dedicated to the new UN Human Rights Council Working Group on the UNDROP.

The Human Rights Council created the Working Group in October of last year, and its members will soon begin their mandates. It is therefore time for our organizations and movements to understand this step forward in the implementation of the UNDROP and make this new Working Group accessible to all rights holders.

Join us to discuss how to use this new lever in the struggle for Peasants’ Rights with elected experts from the Working Group and representatives from rural movements.
