EFHR invites you to free training on human rights!
On December 3rd 2014, the European Foundation of Human Rights (EFHR) would like you to come to a free training seminar on human rights entitled: “How to Balance National Law and International Law: Theory and Practice”.
During the seminars, one of the world’s leading experts on human rights, Fernand de Varennes, Ph.D will try to explain why it is sometimes difficult to reconcile national law with international legislation. He will also take a closer look at basic legal principles based on the interactions between these two systems.

The lecture will be held in English, in the headquarters of the European Foundation of Human Rights at Liepkalnio 103, Vilnius LT-02121.
The training is intended for lawyers, judges, administrators, students, people working with groups particularly vulnerable to discrimination, as well as to all others interested in these issues.
