🤝75 years of the European Convention on Human Rights

A landmark treaty that reshaped Europe after the second World War, protecting millions of Europeans and supporting our shared values of human rights, democracy and rule of law.

Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.

Living Debate to almost finish 'City Matters: Urban Inequality and Social Justice' at @frw-rug.bsky.social today. Thinking typical urban situations. ❓ “Where should we intervene first, and why?
