International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels under the auspices of UNESCO

The International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels under the auspices of UNESCO contributes to the implementation of the International Human Rights agenda at the local and regional levels. Situated in Graz, Austria, the Centre promotes a human-rights based approach to policy-making and practice at the local and regional levels, building on 20 years of experience and expertise. The Centre supports inclusive and equitable social development through research, capacity-building, international cooperation, and networking activities.

  • As a hub connecting the international, regional, and local agendas on the implementation and realisation of human rights at the local level, the Centre takes on three core functions:
  • as facilitator for the implementation of human rights, it strengthens the institutional and human capacities for inclusive and equitable policy-making.
  • As moderator for exchange, it mobilises expertise from research and practice and stimulates exchange between stakeholders.

Finally, as bridge builder, the Centre connects the international with the local levels and brings together stakeholders for fruitful dialogue to solve societal challenges.
