United Nations Headquarters, New York City
The International Human Rights Summit serves as a platform for top human rights activists, dignitaries, officials and youth, to exchange ideas, develop plans of action, and forward a movement in the name of international peace. Youth for Human Rights International holds the Summit with the purpose to bring education of the UDHR to the forefront of academic attention as the medium to end the inhumane violations of these rights that plague our society.
Since its inception in 2004 the Human Rights Summit has evolved into a venue to establish international partnerships and friendships with delegates and officials from countries around the world.
The 18th International Human Rights Summit is graciously hosted by the Permanent Mission of Timor-Leste to the United Nations.
Each guest needs to register here (link) and receive an e-ticket for the Summit. Ensure that you put your name exactly as it appears on your ID as this is the name that will be printed on your guest pass to enter the UN.
The Summit itself is free to attend. However, each guest is responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.
It is our policy that we only provide invitation letters to our selected youth delegates and guest speakers, as we are directly responsible for their participation in the Summit.
We suggest that you show the Consular Officer the Summit website at www.humanrightssummit.com
Youth for Human Rights International does not provide sponsorship for general attendees to the Summit. We cover all costs of the Summit production itself to allow the event to be free to all guests.
Therefore, each guest is responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.
Anyone between the ages of 18-35 who is active in the field of human rights and who has worked with the Youth for Human Rights campaign.
