MADRID, Spain – April 10, 2025 – The pivotal question, "Are Europe and America the World Leaders for Human Rights Protection and Sustainability?" served as the catalyst for a profound international seminar held today at UNIE University in Madrid in the framework of Effective Justice Platform of Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland). The event, titled "Contributions of the International Regions to Human Rights and Sustainable Development," convened a diverse assembly of legal scholars, practitioners, and researchers from Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia to critically examine the global landscape of rights protection and sustainable development.
Co-directed and moderated by Professor Elena C. Díaz Galán and Professor Harold Bertot Triana, the seminar was organized by the members of the Jean Monnet Module in collaboration with the Effective Justice Platform of Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland), the Research Center for Ibero-American Studies at Rey Juan Carlos University, and the "Francisco de Vitoria" Institute of International and European Studies at Carlos III University.
The seminar was inaugurated by a panel of distinguished academics, including Prof. David de Mattas Batalla, Vice-Rector for Research and Internationalisation at UNIE; Deans from Moroccan universities in Tánger and Fés; and Prof. Barbara Janusz-Pohl, Leader of the Effective Justice Project, setting a tone of high-level international dialogue.
The program was structured around two comprehensive roundtable discussions:
The First Roundtable, focusing on "Protection of Human Rights and Sustainability at the National and European Regional Level," featured contributions from experts in Spain, Poland, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Morocco, and India. This session facilitated a robust exchange on the effectiveness of regional mechanisms and national implementations.
The Second Roundtable, addressing "Protection of Human Rights and Sustainability at the American and Iberoamerican Level," boasted an equally impressive roster. Notable participants included Prof. Carlos R. Fernández Liesa, a newly elected member of the United Nations Human Rights Committee (2025–2028). Their insights, alongside those from scholars across Spain and Morocco, provided a critical perspective on transatlantic and Latin American approaches.
The seminar was developed within the framework of the UNIE Project on Human Rights, Business, and Sustainability (Code PII_2025_1) and the High-Performance Research Group on Freedom, Security, and Citizenship in the International Order (INTER-CIVITAS) at Rey Juan Carlos University.
