2021 Freedom of Religion or Belief Priorities at the United Nations
7 May 2021 @ 1:15 PM - 2:45 PM EDT
Free
Join us on Friday, May 7th, from 1:15pm-2:45pm Eastern for a virtual event that will highlight various missions’ recent past and upcoming efforts to promote religious freedom and related rights in 2021 at the United Nations. The event will feature a panel of UN diplomats who will present on their mission’s specific priorities on this issue. Following the presentations, there will be ample time for Q+A.
Our expert panelists include:
- Madeeha Ashraf, Advisor, U.S. Mission to the UN
- Timothy Sylvester, Second Secretary, U.K Mission to the UN
- Klas Nyman, Counsellor, EU Delegation to the UN
We anticipate the event will be insightful for our shared focus on promoting FoRB at and through the United Nations, and we hope that you will join us.
To register, please RSVP to info@unforb.org by 12pm on May 6. A Zoom link will be sent to you on the day of the event.
We look forward to your presence on May 7th.
Best regards,
Kelsey Zorzi, President, NGO Committee on Freedom of Religion or Belief – New York
