Human rights constitute the glue that can hold societies together world-wide, especially diverse societies like Guyana. Human rights strategies of governance can help the world negotiate new challenges, such as climate change, environmental damage and mass movement of people across borders.

The aim was to entrench a universal culture of human rights.
