On
November 18, Human Rights Defender Anahit Manasyan hosted the 11th grade
students of the Liberal Politics School.
The
Defender emphasized the importance of such meetings with youth as a platform
for exchanging experiences, identifying existing challenges in the field of
human rights protection, and collaboratively finding solutions.
During
the meeting, held in a Q&A format, the students, who are from various
universities, discussed their concerns about human rights protection with the
Defender.
Anahit
Manasyan addressed the challenges in the field of human rights protection,
highlighting two key issues: the politicization of rights and the low level of
professional ethics.
She
particularly emphasized frequent violations of professional principles of
ethics and codes of conduct by legal specialists as a serious problem.
Another
significant challenge, according to Anahit Manasyan, is the widespread
categorization of rights in society and the social environment into "important"
and "unimportant."
"When
attention is focused on certain areas of rights, such as the rights of
individuals in vulnerable situations, many publicly present these as secondary
or less important. This distorts the perception of the human rights protection
system," stated Anahit Manasyan.
The
Defender also highlighted the importance of collaboration with the Liberal
Politics School, describing it as an excellent platform for discussing various
topics and exchanging information.
The
priorities of the Human Rights Defender's Office, its functions, activities,
and scope of authority were also presented during the meeting.
It is
worth noting that 35 students from the Liberal Politics School, including
alumni from previous cohorts, participated in the event.
