History shows that many advances in civil and human rights protection were achieved by taking bold legal action. Human rights law on paper alone is often not enough to guarantee the elimination of discrimination, hatred and extremism. Committed activists and lawyers can successfully push the boundaries of what is included under the umbrella of the legal protection of human rights and turn the tide against rising antisemitism. Join leading organizations and experts in a fascinating debate on the challenges and opportunities in pro-actively advancing the battle against antisemitism in Latin America and all over the world.
