The opening panel of the European Conference will start with a discussion on the current status of human rights in Europe, as well as challenges and opportunities to the protection of democratic institutions and values. The discussion will include the challenges posed by the current situation in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, the work of human rights defenders, and the realization of migrants’ rights.
