Naumann Foundation opens Human Rights Hub in Geneva / German Federal Minister of Justice Dr. Buschmann: `The brave need support.`

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is launching its Human Rights Hub in Geneva on July 10th. The Hub will serve as a center for advocating for freedom and human rights on a global scale. Individuals such as journalists, lawyers, and activists are dedicated to upholding human rights universally, often jeopardizing their own safety and freedom in the process. It is crucial for liberal societies and individuals to defend freedom, as it comes at a cost. Dr. Michaela Lissowsky will lead as the director of the hub.

„Geneva is the world capital of human rights and the rule of law. This is where people come together, network, become visible and have their voices heard. All over the world, people are threatened, imprisoned or tortured if they want to express their opinion, argue their case in court or report critically. Standing up for the universal application of human rights every day is at the heart of our mission as the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. I am very pleased that the Human Rights Hub in Geneva will be such a place of encounter and joining forces.”

„Human rights protect people. They protect the individual. At the same time, it is individuals who stand up and fight for these rights. It takes individuals with courage. Because without courage, it wouldn’t have been possible to defend Alexander Navalny in court in Russia. Without courage, you can’t fight corruption or help safeguard the rule of law in Zimbabwe. Without courage, you can’t stand up to those who despise human rights. But even the courageous need help. The Human Rights Hub of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom in Geneva will support them in finding that help, winning over fellow campaigners and generating attention. I therefore wish this institution the very greatest of success.”
