SUMMARY:Launch Event: Maastricht Principles on the Human Rights of Future Generations
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE REGISTER HERE.  \nHERE’S THE DIRECT LINK TO FOLLOW ONLIZE VIA ZOOM: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sUGt06LUTtycW8rb4IU6Hw \nINTERPRETATION IN ENGLISH\, SPANISH AND FRENCH AVAILABLE ONLINE. \nEVENT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON CoNGO YouTube Channel \n  \nFacilitation: Liberato Bautista (CoNGO–Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations) \n\nPanelists: \nH.E Mariza Chan Valverde  (Ambassador of Costa Rica to the UN in New York)\nMr. Thomas Lammar (Counsellor\, Human Rights\, Permanent Mission of Luxembourg to the United Nations)\n\nMr. Carroll Muffett (Center for International Environmental Law)\nDr.Jur. Ana María Suárez Franco (FIAN)\nMr. Christian Courtis (Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights)\nMr. Jan Lönn (NGO Committee on Development\, Geneva\, and ISMUN)\nCONCEPT NOTE \nAlready in the 1970s and 1980s\, there was a growing understanding that a ”business as usual” model was exposing the Earth\, present generations (particularly children and youth) as well future generations. In recent times\, these threats have multiplied. They include the triple environmental crisis of climate change\, pollution and biodiversity loss; the exceeding of “planetary boundaries” through unsustainable patterns of production and consumption; global health threats such as the Covid-19 pandemic; inadequately controlled and regulated new technologies; the scourge of war and the deployment of weapons of mass destruction\, global conflict and the outbreak of war; and the erosion of long-established norms of democratic governance and civil and political rights in many countries. These and a range of other developments are posing profound threats to the ability of future generations to enjoy all internationally recognised human rights. \nDespite the gravity of the human rights threats faced by future generations and a rapidly evolving scholarship on this subject\, there has not been enough attention to the human rights of future generations within the UN and other multilateral fora. The time was thus ripe to build on three prior Maastricht initiatives that made major contributions to the development of human rights law: The Limburg Principles on the Implementation of the International Covenant on Economic\, Social and Cultural Rights (1986); the Maastricht Guidelines on Violations of Economic\, Social and Cultural Rights (1997); and the Maastricht Principles on Extraterritorial Obligations of States in the Area of Economic\, Social and Cultural Rights (2011). The fourth Maastricht project thus focuses on addressing the major gap in human rights protection – the human rights of future generations. \nThe Maastricht Principles\, adopted on the 3rd of February 2023\, seek both to consolidate and develop existing human rights standards to enhance the protection and fulfillment of the human rights of future generations. They provide a valuable guide to ensure that any action to strengthen solidarity with future generations is in line with international human rights law. It is hoped that the Principles will influence national and regional international governance processes\, decision-making\, standard-setting and jurisprudence\, as well as promote social mobilization to advance the human rights of future generations. Their legal foundations can be found in international instruments\, national legislative frameworks\, and in Indigenous Peoples’ laws. \nHuman rights experts will present the motivation\, the main debates and processes that led to their adoption\, and key themes in the Principles. They will discuss with States representatives opportunities to better protect these human rights\, including in the context of UN processes\, such as the ongoing advisory proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concerning human rights and intergenerational equity in the context of climate or the preparation of the Summit of the Future to be convened by the UN Secretary-General in 2024. \nReference: The Maastricht Principles on the Human Rights of Future Generations (Extract from the Report “Spotlight on Global Multilateralism\,” Global Policy Forum)

SUMMARY:Prayer Service for Children and Young People
DESCRIPTION:Join ACT Alliance\, Caritas Internationalis\, The Episcopal Church\, World Council of Churches and World Vision in prayer for children and young people and for world leaders to give them life in all its fullness\, on 8am Eastern at the Church Center for the UN in NYC on Monday\, Sept. 19\, on the margins of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly. \nThe multiple and interconnected crisis and conflicts facing the world have serious and devastating psychological\, physical and social impact on children and young people. Over 78 million are out of school; 120 million who are attending school are not achieving required proficiency; and overall 222 million children and young people are in need of educational support. Failing health systems have resulted in 25 million children missing out on one or more doses of critical vaccines. It is the largest drop in a generation\, according to UNICEF and WHO. On top of this gap\, children are facing severe acute malnutrition\, which weakens their immunity; this together with missed vaccines\, threatens their very lives. Hunger crisis and immunization gaps converge into a real crisis for the survival\, development and protection of children and young people. \nWe call on world leaders gathering at the United Nations to rally around urgent actions to save entire generations of children and young people. \nLearn more and register here: eventbrite.com/e/prayer-service-for-children-and-young-people-tickets-407996958887 \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.

Failing health systems have resulted in 25 million children missing out on one or more doses of critical vaccines. It is the largest drop in a generation\, according to UNICEF and WHO. On top of this gap\, children are facing severe acute malnutrition\, which weakens their immunity; this together with missed vaccines\, threatens their very lives. Hunger crisis and immunization gaps converge into a real crisis for the survival\, development and protection of children and young people. \nWe call on world leaders gathering at the United Nations to rally around urgent actions to save entire generations of children and young people. \nLearn more and register here: eventbrite.com/e/prayer-service-for-children-and-young-people-tickets-407996958887 \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations\, please visit rngos.wordpress.com.
