Keynote Speakers: President Jimmy Carter; 2003 Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Dr. Shirin Ebadi; Dr. Upendra Baxi. Advancing the Consensus is a conference that is intended to take a brief look back at the history of the UDHR so that we can begin looking forward to the new challenges that are facing the human rights movement 60 years after the Universal Declaration. The world that we live in today is very different from the one that gave rise to the original UDHR, and though we continue to face many of the same human rights abuses, how we respond to those abuses and implement effective protection of human rights must respond to the changing times. In particular, this conference is looking at the challenges to the human rights movement posed by globalization, environmentalism, and religion. Despite all the change of the past 60 years, however, the UDHR remains the guiding light in the human rights movement, and so as we take on the task of envisioning the next 60 years of human rights work, and as we attempt to advance the consensus on human rights, we continue to do so with reference to the Universal Declaration.
