************On the Record to Cover Human Rights Defenders Summit*************

The Advocacy Project has been invited to produce a series of the e-mail
newsletter On the Record for the World Summit of Human Rights Defenders
that will take place in Paris, December 8-11.  This unique event will bring
together over 300 human rights campaigners to commemorate the 50th
anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The defenders will draw up an action plan to ensure greater protection for
those at the forefront of the campaign for HR.  They want to shift the
focus of the international human rights system from governments to civil
society.  On the Record will bring you news of the meeting and profiles of
key defenders through out the week.  The newsletter will also be posted on
our website <www.advocacynet.org>

ABOUT THE ADVOCACY PROJECT is motivated by four goals. In the first place,
it seeks to better understand the role of advocacy in countries that are
either in crisis or emerging from crisis. Second, it aims to identify the
information needs of these advocates and communicate these to donors.
Third, it aims to build support for humanitarian principles among these
advocates. Finally, it seeks to use information technology to empower these
advocates.
