An intense activity in the field of
Human Rights Education, both at the national and international level,
derives from the close co-operation between C.E.U. and I.P.V. (the
latter being a direct emanation of the former).
Major contradictions within the policies of the States have hampered
the development of a democratic conscience based on the values of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The quality of the development
of "reasoning" and of the conscience of citizens depends
essentially on the quality of school and university programs, that
is to say from educational "policies".
The individual is only potentially born endowed with "reason
and conscience" and the policies of States must consider this
universal, sacred, absolute and inviolable principle. The raison-d'être
for the existence of state organizations is in this obligation:
they have the task to enable people to fully and concretely achieve
that wonderful project that each and every human being has inside.
After twenty years of multidisciplinary integrated studies carried
on by C.E.U. it has been ascertained that Man/Woman universality
is located in a biological program (genetic Ego) that is inborn
in each human being. This biological program, in order to be developed,
necessitates an education able to integrate fundamental aspects
of life inherent to the principles of dignity, freedom, justice
and love.
Therefore, the human being is a spiritual and psycho-physical entity
and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights holds all those values
who can make justice to all peoples of Earth.
IUS PRIMI VIRI has a very wide scope of activity, both at the national
and international level, which takes place in close cooperation
with the main international organisms (i.e. United Nations, European
Union, Council of Europe, UNESCO, OSCE) as shown, in particular,
by the following initiatives:
- Conference on “Physiology of a democratic
State: comparison between positive law and actual reality”
(Aula Magna of the Palace of Justice, Rome, 1992);
- “First European Conference for launching
the Decade for Human Rights Education” (Barberini Palace,
Rome, 1993);
- Establishment, as foreseen by the Final Statement
of the European Conference, of an International Standing Committee
for the Implementation of the Decade for Human Rights Education.
