On 10th December, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris (General Assembly resolution 217 A). Since 1950, this important milestone is observed annually as International Human Rights Day on 10th December. Today, this seems more relevant than ever. For this reason, the Maecenata Foundation, cooperating with the German Fundraising Association, is organizing an online lunch talk. Our speaker is Ivan Blokov, a Russian expert in environmental protection and related civil society and human rights issues.
Ivan has over 40 years of experience in leading and directly participating in national and international initiatives, as well as conducting scientific & investigative research in Russia, Central Asia and globally. He holds a Ph.D. (kandidat nauk) degree in Technical Sciences and is the author of several books, including a monograph on the 30-year transformation of environmental conditions, law, and enforcement in Russia, as well as the editor of an international report on the consequences of Chernobyl.
Dr. Christian Fröhlich, a researcher presently with the University of Hamburg, who previously spent many years in Russia, will join the discussion to be chaired by Dr. Rupert Graf Strachwitz, senior strategic advisor to the Maecenata Foundation.
This is an event organised in collaboration with the Deutscher Fundraising Verband and will take place in English.
