The Role of Parliaments in the Protection and Realisation of the Rule of Law and Human Rights 2016-7

该项目这一阶段的主要目的是协助和充分参与6月在联合国人权理事会举行的关于议会在保护和实现法治和人权方面的作用的小组讨论，国际和平协会受邀主持这次讨论，并在9月在日内瓦举行的另一次活动中对这一高调讨论采取后续行动，以期按照商定的时间表与主要伙伴建立一个协作研究项目，最终将在2019/20年举行的一次高级别国际会议上达成一致，会议上可能会就“议会在保护和实现法治和人权方面的作用的原则和指导方针草案”的文本达成一致，以期联合国大会可能通过这些原则和指导方针。

The main purpose of this phase of the project is for the project team to assist and participate fully in a Panel Discussion on the subject of The Role of Parliaments in the Protection and Realisation of the Rule of Law and Human Rights in the UN Human Rights Council in June, which the PI has been invited to moderate, and to follow up on that high profile discussion with a further event in Geneva in September, with a view to establishing a collaborative research project with key partners to an agreed timetable, culminating in a high-level international conference in 2019/20 at which the text of some "draft principles and guidelines on the role of parliaments in the protection and realisation of the rule of law and human rights" could be agreed with a view to their possible adoption by the UN General Assembly.
