Join us for a conversation with Latin American youth leaders about civic and political participation during times of democratic backsliding. For 75 years, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man have guided and informed the Inter-American system’s observance of basic political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Youth, through student organizations, street protests, public opinion, or social media, have spearheaded the protection of these rights and the advancement of democratic reforms. In partnership with the Organization of American States (OAS), the Inter-American Dialogue will host youth leaders from across the region to discuss the future of youth engagement for democracy and human rights in Latin America and the Caribbean.
