Outspoken Zimbabwe opposition figure, human rights lawyer, former political prisoner, Job Sikhala addressing the United Nations opening of the 16th Annual Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy | May 14, 2024.
The Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy is a major conference that shines a spotlight on urgent human rights situations that require global attention.
It provides human rights heroes, activists and former political prisoners with a unique platform to testify about their personal struggles for democracy and freedom, while building an international community to take on dictatorships.
The Summit is held around the main annual session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, when foreign ministers gather in Geneva, to place critical issues onto the international agenda.
