PDF - Close the gap - How to ensure human rights for all (2020)
Despite much progress accomplished in Europe over the past seven decades, some topics remain issues of concern in many countries, especially in the current context in which human rights principles are increasingly challenged, undermined or discounted.
This compilation puts together the series of articles published by Dunja Mijatović, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights over the past twenty-one months (elected in January 2018). They cover a variety of human rights topics that she has worked on, such as the right to peaceful assembly, the rights of minority groups, anti-discrimination, the fight against trafficking, environmental rights, anti-terror legislation and the protection of human rights, the independence of the judiciary, national human rights institutions and human rights in the artificial intelligence era.
