UNHRC: States Must #RejectTraditionalValues
Human Rights Council: States Must Reject ‘Traditional Values’
ARTICLE 19 calls on the member states of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) to reject absolutely the concept of ‘traditional values’, and state their opposition to any future resolution to advance this agenda. This call comes ahead of the debate on the report on ’traditional values’ by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) that will be presented at the 24th session of the HRC.
