President Michele Capasso participated in the HUMAN RIGHTS DAY with many events organised at the Museum of Peace - MAMT by the Anna Lindh Federation.
World Human Rights Day is celebrated on 10 December every year all over the world and commemorates the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the United Nations Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. The birth of this important document took place in the immediate post-war period, when European and Asian territories were devastated by the aftermath of the Second World War and the whole world was horrified by the discovery of the concentration camp system devised by the Nazi regime.
The 58 countries that were members of the UN at the time, seeking redemption after the horrors of the conflict, incorporated into the Charter a centuries-old elaboration of humanitarian and civil principles, condensed into a list of 30 articles, which took their cue from the great constituent documents of the history of mankind, such as the American Declaration of Independence of 1776 or the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen born of the French Revolution. The declared aim was to spread the values of democracy, diversity and tolerance throughout the world.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Anna Lindh Italy Federation participated - with their representatives - in the seventh edition of "ROME MED - MEDITERRANEAN DIALOGUES": the annual high-level initiative promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and ISPI (Italian Institute for International Political Studies) with the aim of rethinking traditional approaches to the area by integrating analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions and to draw up a new "positive agenda", addressing shared challenges at both regional and international levels.
This year's edition was dedicated to a positive agenda for the Mediterranean between transition and signs of recovery.
Launched in 2015, MED has rapidly become the global hub for high-level dialogues on the wider Mediterranean, involving prominent leaders from Mediterranean governments, business, civil society, media and academia.
Past editions have brought together more than 1,000 international leaders, including Heads of State and Ministers (among them, the King of Jordan, the Iraqi and Lebanese Presidents, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, the United States. Secretary of State, UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Envoy for Syria, as well as the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the first Vice-President of the Commission and many others).
The Italian Institute for International Policy Studies (ISPI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank that provides cutting-edge research and viable policy options to government officials, business executives and the general public who wish to better understand international affairs. Founded in 1934 in Milan, ISPI has always taken a pragmatic approach to the analysis of geographic areas and issues of particular interest to Italy and Europe. ISPI is the only Italian institute - and one of the few in Europe - that combines policy-oriented research with an equally significant commitment to education and training, to conferences and consulting on international trends.
The four pillars
Rome MED is based on four pillars: shared prosperity, shared security, migration and civil society and culture. Discussions on these themes aim to complement analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions for increasing economic cooperation, overcoming regional rivalries and conflicts, and ensuring that the right incentives are put in place for sustainable development.
President Michele Capasso, connected from the Foundation's headquarters, recalled the Foundation's 30 years of activity in the Mediterranean when very few people were interested in the issue and relaunched the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD project.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo - protagonist of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership born with the Barcelona Process on 28 November 1995 - celebrated in various countries - in Italy in Naples and Rome - the Day of the Mediterranean.

It was also established to give greater visibility to the daily efforts of organisations and citizens to strengthen cooperation and integration in the Euro-Mediterranean region.
Mediterranean Day takes place on the anniversary of the Barcelona Process held in 1995, which marked the beginning of a shared commitment by Euro-Mediterranean countries to transform the region into a common space of peace, stability, socio-economic progress and dialogue among peoples, also leading to the establishment of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in 2008. Mediterranean Day is celebrated in the countries of the Mediterranean basin, including the Member States of the European Union.
