Safe havens for human rights archives at risk in the MENA region

Human rights documentation is key for future dealing with the past processes. When it is at risk of destruction or alteration, security copies sometimes need to be placed in a safe haven abroad. Providing guidance to actors in the MENA region, the International Initiative for Safe Havens for Archives at Risk has issued the International Guiding Principles on Safe Havens for Archives at risk and other resources in Arabic. In this context, the International Advisory Committee , thanks to the financial support of the Swiss Federal Department of Federal Affairs, organizes the webinar entitled ‘ Safe havens for human rights archives at risk in the MENA region’. This webinar aims at shedding light on the importance and challenges of finding safe havens for archives at risk in the MENA region. It will be held on Monday 21 March 2022 from 15h to 16h30 (Swiss time).
