SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) are essential for investigations on human rights, and as such for the work of our Clinic, because they provide a framework for countries to promote and protect human rights in a holistic manner. SDG 16 specifically focuses on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing a roadmap for investigating and addressing human rights violations. Additionally, other SDGs such as SDG 5 on gender equality and SDG 10 on reducing inequalities can also play a critical role in investigating human rights abuses and ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly and equitably. Overall, the SDGs provide a valuable tool for investigating and addressing human rights violations, and their implementation can help ensure that everyone’s fundamental human rights are respected and protected.
