About CCHR

The Centre for Comparative Human Rights (CCHR) is a specialized Research Centre of Excellence (RCoE) under the Community for Academic Research and Development (CARD), established with the vision of developing a multidisciplinary academic and research ecosystem dedicated to advancing the understanding, protection, promotion, and comparative study of human rights across national, regional, and international jurisdictions. CCHR serves as a platform for research, education, policy dialogue, knowledge production, academic collaboration, institutional engagement, youth participation, and public awareness across the broad and interconnected fields of human rights, equality, dignity, freedom, social justice, and global governance. The Centre recognizes that the protection and advancement of human rights cannot be understood solely through the interpretation of legal instruments or the functioning of national and international institutions. It is a complex and evolving process shaped by constitutional principles, international human rights law, comparative legal systems, democratic institutions, political structures, social and economic conditions, cultural contexts, technological developments, and mechanisms of accountability. Similarly, human rights cannot be viewed merely as a framework of legally recognized entitlements or state obligations. Questions concerning civil and political liberties, economic, social and cultural rights, equality and non-discrimination, gender justice, minority rights, indigenous peoples’ rights, refugee protection, humanitarian concerns, environmental justice, business and human rights, digital rights, emerging technologies, access to justice, institutional accountability, and sustainable development are deeply interconnected.

About the Conference

The International Conference on Human Rights, Equality & Global Justice (ICHREGJ), 2026 is a flagship international academic conference organised by the Centre for Comparative Human Rights (CCHR), Community for Academic Research and Development (CARD), in Collaboration with the Global Campus of Human Rights and the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD). Scheduled to commemorate International Human Rights Day on 10 December 2026, the Conference seeks to establish an interdisciplinary international platform bringing together human rights scholars, legal professionals, academicians, policymakers, diplomats, judges, researchers, practitioners, representatives of international organisations, civil society organisations, development institutions, think tanks, and students to deliberate upon contemporary challenges in human rights protection, equality, social justice, fundamental freedoms, democratic governance, and global accountability. Human rights constitute the foundation of human dignity, freedom, equality, and justice. The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 established a universal framework recognising the inherent rights and freedoms of every individual, irrespective of nationality, race, gender, religion, language, social origin, or other status. The Conference seeks to examine the evolving relationship between human rights, equality, and global justice through comparative, interdisciplinary, and international perspectives. It aims to explore the effectiveness of international human rights instruments, constitutional safeguards, regional human rights mechanisms, judicial institutions, and national legislative frameworks in addressing emerging human rights challenges.

• Examine contemporary developments and emerging challenges in international human rights law, institutions, and governance.
• Promote interdisciplinary dialogue on human rights, equality, social justice, and fundamental freedoms.
