During the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, GHRD is hosting a three-day exhibition at the Palais des Nations to highlight ongoing human rights violations affecting several communities across Asia. The exhibition runs from 9 to 11 March and brings attention to the situations in Bangladesh; the Ahmadiyya, Christian, Sindhi, and Baloch communities in Pakistan; the Tamil community in Sri Lanka; the Kashmiri people; and the Uyghur and Falun Gong groups in China.
Through visual documentation, testimonies, and case studies, the exhibition aims to shed light on patterns of discrimination, repression, and violence faced by religious and ethnic minorities, as well as other vulnerable groups. The display presents documented evidence and narratives illustrating issues such as restrictions on freedom of religion or belief, enforced disappearances, political repression, and the marginalization of minority communities.
The exhibition also draws attention to the experiences of communities whose human rights concerns often receive limited international visibility. By presenting documented cases and personal accounts, the initiative seeks to contribute to ongoing discussions within the Human Rights Council and encourage greater international engagement with these situations.
Organized alongside the Council’s deliberations, the exhibition provides delegates, civil society representatives, and visitors with an opportunity to examine specific human rights concerns affecting these regions and communities. The initiative forms part of GHRD’s broader efforts to advocate for accountability, minority protection, and the promotion of fundamental rights in accordance with international human rights law.
GHRD invites delegates, diplomats, journalists, and members of civil society attending the Human Rights Council session to visit the exhibition and engage with the issues presented.
