Human Rights for All – Phase 2
summary
“Human Rights for All” is a joint initiative of the European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN), implemented by UNDP and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). It builds on the achievements of the previous phase of the programme in 2016-2019, aiming to assist Georgia in promoting respect for human rights, strengthening human rights protection in all areas and addressing the remaining issues of concern.
The programme is designed to ensure that all citizens – without exception, can enjoy their rights and freedoms that are safeguarded by the Constitution and major policy documents in line with Georgia’s national priorities and its international commitments under the Association Agreement with the European Union, the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN human rights treaties.
