The 2025 Human Rights Week, organized by the Global Studies Institute at the University of Geneva, focuses on defending the rule of law through a diverse and thought-provoking program. Bridging law, political science, and history, the initiative explores contemporary challenges to the rule of law, including the concentration of executive power, weakening of checks and balances, and questions over the legitimacy of constitutional and supranational courts.
With the participation of students and institutional partners, the week offers around twenty events that invite reflection, debate, and action on legal, institutional, and civic tools to preserve and strengthen the rule of law at both national and European levels.
