The guide is a reference in all matters related to human rights to create a decent life for people, and to clarify the role that governments should play in this regard.This handbook is intended to help national human rights institutions maximize the effectiveness of their functions and powers in addressing economic, social and cultural rights. Its aim is to assist national human rights institutions in the development of policies, processes and skills to integrate economic, social and cultural rights further into their work, thereby enabling them to address poverty and development, for example, through an economic, social and cultural rights framework.This handbook will discuss ways in which national human rights institutions can become more effective in protecting and promoting economic, social and cultural rights. It will examine how national institutions’ legal mandates can be interpreted to incorporate economic, social and cultural rights within their jurisdictions, how their functions and powers can be exercised more appropriately in regard to these rights, how they can use their resources most efficiently and effectively and how they can implement economic, social and cultural rights in the political and social contexts in which they operate.  Measuring Intercultural Dialogue: A Conceptual and Technical Framework Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace The challenges of addressing growing diversity have amply demonstrated that this vision is needed now more than ever. We all have much to gain from more open and connected societies yet misunderstanding, exclusion and discrimination continue to push identity and culture-based grievances towards conflict and violence, challenging the very foundations of sustainable and inclusive development.This report represents a first step in the UNESCO-IEP joint initiative to strengthen the evidence-base on dialogue for peace and development. Through mobilizing better data on effective dialogue, it is our sincere hope that policymakers and practitioners can better support meaningful and transformative dialogue, holistically supporting the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. Through this, we hope to elevate dialogue as a connecting enabler of all pillars of UN action, accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and making good on the promise of ‘leaving no one behind’.  Mesurer le dialogue interculturel: cadre conceptuel et technique Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace Les défis rencontrés pour tenir compte de la diversité croissante ont amplement démontré que cette vision était plus que jamais nécessaire. Nous avons tous beaucoup à gagner de sociétés plus ouvertes et plus connectées, mais l’incompréhension, l’exclusion et la discrimination continuent de nourrir les griefs identitaires et culturels conduisant au conflit et à la violence, en remettant en question les fondements mêmes du développement durable et inclusif.Ce rapport représente une première étape dans l’initiative conjointe UNESCO-IEP visant à renforcer la base de données factuelles sur le dialogue pour la paix et le développement. En favorisant la collecte de données de meilleure qualité sur un dialogue efficace, nous espérons sincèrement que les décideurs politiques et les spécialistes pourront mieux soutenir un dialogue constructif et transformateur, afin d’appuyer de manière globale les objectifs du Programme 2030. Ainsi, nous espérons faire du dialogue un élément essentiel commun à tous les piliers de l’action des Nations Unies, afin d’accélérer les progrès vers la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable et de la promesse de « ne laisser personne de côté ».  حوار الأديان .. حوار الحياة وحوار العقلاء Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: RT Arabic Online تقدم قناة RT من خلال هذا البرنامج ندوة من خلال استضافة المتحدثين لمناقشة أهمية الحوار بين الأديان، والتعايش بين الجميع من مختلف الأديان.  Interfaith Dialogue ..
