Reflecting on the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with Andrew Gilmour, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights

Please join the Foreign Policy Association and the SUNY Global Engagement Program for the third annual FPA-SUNY Global Engagement Program Speaker Series, delivered by the United Nation’s Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, Andrew Gilmour.  Mr. Gilmour will be speaking on the topic of the 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Registration will begin at 5:30pm, and the lecture will begin at 6:00pm. 

This event will coincide with the Foreign Policy Association’s year-long Centennial Lecture Series, celebrating 100 years of commitment to fostering an educated public discourse on the most influential topics in U.S. foreign policy. The Foreign Policy Association’s Centennial Lecture Series features extraordinary speakers, who will take the long view and imagine the future in their respective disciplines. The importance of providing citizens with accessible, in-depth, non-partisan material is vital to future world peace and prosperity. In one of his final public addresses, President Franklin D. Roosevelt told the Foreign Policy Association that “In a democracy the Government functions with the consent of the whole people. The latter must be guided by the facts.” Now more than ever, this message continues to have resonance, and will remain the guiding principle and goal of the Foreign Policy Association.
