The CaixaForum Macaya in Barcelona (Paseo de San Juan, 108) will be the venue tomorrow at 6.30 p.m. for the conference entitled How are human rights affected by nuclear weapons? The event will be held in Spanish. Admission is free.
We are constantly witnessing, through the media, serious war crimes and human rights violations. What risk do nuclear weapons pose for world security and the defence of human rights? This first session of the series Dialogues between Nobel Laureates and Human Rights defenders will discuss how a more just future free of nuclear weapons can be conceived.
The conference will be given by Carlos Umaña, physician, president of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW, Nobel Peace Prize in 1985) and member of the Board of Directors of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN, Nobel Peace Prize in 2017), and Reed Brody, human rights lawyer. He was legal counsel and spokesperson for Human Rights Watch (HRW) between 1998 and 2016. He has been involved in cases against dictators such as Hissène Habré of Chad, Augusto Pinochet of Chile and Jean-Claude Duvalier of Haiti.
Limited seating. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis and you may be required to watch the session on CCTV. To attend in person, please register via this link. It will also be possible to watch the event via streaming.
