Throughout the calendar year 2017, the Liberal International Human Rights Committee (LI HRC) has shown a consistent growth in terms of diversity in its membership and priority work areas. The 199th LI Executive Committee in Johannesburg, South Africa saw the election of 24 representatives from 18 countries across 3 continents who vowed to deliver on the Committee’s newly ratified priorities, including the promotion and advancement of women’s rights, LGBTI rights, the responsibility to protect principle and freedom of belief.
It is in this spirit that the LI Human Rights Committee has published its annual 2017 Report reminding its membership and partners of the work done by liberals to fight for human rights globally.
Promoting and advancing human rights sits at the core of Liberal International’s programmatic work. The LI Human Rights Committee (LI HRC) has provided the global federation with a distinctive voice in troubled times; when liberal ideas and values are being pushed aside by loud and flashy populist far-right slogans.
