Tour organized by: Argentina Solidarity Campaign supported by PeaceJam UK
In his talks, Adolfo and Beverly will reflect on the evolution and progress in the field of human and labour rights and illegitimate debt since the military dictatorships in much of Latin America ended thirty years ago. They will analyse how these developed under subsequent democratization and will also pose some of the urgent challenges being faced today as many of these gains are being rolled back in Brazil, Mexico, Honduras, Paraguay, Colombia and Argentina and elsewhere.
Please join us for this timely meeting, which is an incredibly rare opportunity to hear one of the world's most eminent human rights campaigners speak in the UK.
