Human rights is not only an unfinished agenda, it is an evolving one. From the "war on terror" to climate change, from urbanization to financial and food crises, human rights are facing new challenges which could barely have been foreseen when the Declaration was adopted. Human Rights Ahead is an international initiative that seeks to act as a catalyst, facilitator and laboratory of ideas on proactive ways to address these challenges more effectively.
