Research activities

Since its foundation, the main purpose of the Human Rights Centre and of UNESCO Chair Human Rights, Democracy and Peace’s research activity has been to contribute to the in-depth analysis and the dissemination of the culture of human rights.

Research starts from the premise that "human rights knowledge" is a peace-, values- and action-oriented and constitutionally interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary knowledge, which intends to develop peace as a work of justice, not only among persons, peoples and groups, but also among particular areas of knowledge.
