About the Geneva Summit:
The Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy is a major conference that shines a spotlight on urgent human rights situations that require global attention. It provides human rights heroes, activists and former political prisoners with a unique platform to testify about their personal struggles for democracy and freedom, while building an international community to take on dictatorships.
The Summit is held around the main annual session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, when foreign ministers gather in Geneva, to force critical issues onto the international agenda.
The event is attended by hundreds of dissidents, victims, diplomats, journalists, student leaders and other concerned citizens. Thousands more watch online.
The Geneva Summit is sponsored by a coalition of 25 human rights NGOs from around the world, and organized by UN Watch. It has been featured in media around the globe, including CNN, AFP, AP, DW, the Wall Street Journal and The Australian.
