As of August 29th, the 7th Conference on Human Rights has concluded at the Universitas Brawijaya. Chaired by CHRM2 Universitas Jember, in collaboration with the Southeast Asia Centre at the University of Sydney, Komnas HAM, and the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the annual conference aims to promote the academic study of human rights as well as collaboration between academics, activists, and practitioners within Asia and the Pacific region on multiple fronts. This year’s theme of “Human Rights, Peace, Innovation, and the Pacific: A Synergistic Approach to Sustainable Societies,” allowed attendees to engage with plenary and panel/parallel discussions on diverse topics centered on the need for inclusive and human rights-centric innovation, conflict resolution, and global cooperation.
