and experiences reported above, which could serve as inspiration and guidance. States
that have not reviewed their progress in the area of human rights education and
training during the third phase should be encouraged to do so, to advance national

fabric and social cohesion of our societies, advancing human rights education is a
particularly crucial undertaking. By fostering inclusion and participation, promoting
solidarity and preventing violence and conflict, human rights education constitutes a
powerful strategic investment for building a just, peaceful and equitable future for all.
It also makes an important contribution to ensuring a rights-based response to the
coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and should be seen as a critical element of
any strategy to build back better in the aftermath of the health crisis.
