On 1-3 June 2012, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network convened its 9th General Assembly in Copenhagen on the occasion of its 15th anniversary. All the regular, associate and honorary members of the Network were invited as well as external observers such as partner NGOs, researchers, journalists or EMHRN donors. More than 120 participants gathered at the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center to attend the event, preceded by a EuroMed seminar on the challenges faced by the human rights movement, organised by the EMHRN and held on 31 May and 1 June.
The gathering of all the EMHRN members was also an opportunity for the Euro-Mediterranean Foundation of Support to Human Rights Defenders to hold its 3rd Council of Representatives meetings on 2 June in the afternoon.
