As we mark the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the 2023 Joint Convening of the Social Practice of Human Rights Conference and the 6th International Conference on the Right to Development will offer scholars and practitioners a valuable space to exchange perspectives on this year’s theme of Decolonization and Development for Africa and People of African Descent.
SPHR 2023 is designed to offer a hybrid event format, accommodating both virtual and in-person attendance. For this 50th countdown, we are proud to present a remarkable array of some of our speakers, including thematic speakers, two plenary sessions, and various workshops as part of our event lineup.

Fr. Desbois has dedicated his life to educating the world about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, and providing proof of crimes against humanity. His work has taken him from the killing fields of Eastern Europe in World War II to the contemporary war crimes in the Ukraine. His human rights work has brought him to Guatemala and to Iraq to work with the Yazidi survivors of ISIS atrocities. Fr. Desbois is also a Professor in the Center for the Study of Jewish Civilization at Georgetown University. He serves as
a consultant to the Vatican and was a personal aide to the late Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger.
