European Pillar of Social Rights

About the organisation:
The International League for Human Rights is an independent nonprofit organization with activities dating back to 1914. The League’s work is based upon the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948, the European Convention for Human Rights from 1950 and the International Covenant on Civic and Political Rights from 1966.

The ILMR advocates the conservation and further development of civic and human rights in Germany, in Europe and worldwide and opposes any and all constraints or redemption of constitutional princi-ples or civic liberties.

Short description of the project, including its aims:
The aim of this project is the conception of an en-hanced European and participative debate on the proposed “European Pillar of Social Rights”. In this context, a central conference with 100-170 participants will be held in Berlin. Smaller events will be carried out in different countries, each with a meet-ing or workshop format consisting of 3-50 partici-pants. Additionally, an online platform will be developed to accompany the events. The theme of these events will be centered around the European dimension of socio-economic human rights.

Role of the partner organisation in the project:
As lead partner, the ILMR will manage the conference in Berlin. Workshops and meetings will be organized by the partner organizations in the respective countries. These partner organizations will also engage the corresponding speakers for the events and will contribute to the development of an innovative format and act as multipliers in order to ensure the project’s sustained impact.

Timetable of the project: 12 Months / Starting August 2017 or January 2018
