The role of the Ombudsman as guarantor of rights
The Conference will take place in Cassino (FR) in the Lazio region on 12 and 13 September 2024 and will be jointly organized by the Lazio Region, the Lazio Regional Council and the Conference of the Legislative Assemblies of the Italian Regions and Autonomous Provinces. The main theme of the conference will be “The role of the Ombudsman as guarantor of rights”. Ensuring that public administrations operate in a transparent and responsible manner and promoting respect for human rights without any discrimination in our respective regions and countries is the goal. What tools do we have available to exercise this important function and what proposals can we put in place to make the task more effective? The Conference will provide a platform to meet, share experiences and discuss, fostering mutual understanding and a cooperative approach to addressing the common challenges of our time.

International Award “Cassino City for Peace” 2024

AULA PACIS 18:30

Via Marconi – Cassino

The Cassino International City for Peace Award established in 2019 aims to reaffirm the role attributed to the city of Cassino by the UN General Assembly in 1987 as a messenger of peace in the world.

Today, like yesterday, it is essential to build and take root a culture of peace capable of managing any type of international controversy at the outset.
Our initiative to award an international prize was born in this spirit, which highlights, even more today, the universal value of peace, an indispensable requirement for the moral and spiritual well-being of all peoples.

The Cassino International City Prize for Peace will be awarded in Cassino on 13 September 2024 during a ceremony to be held in Cassino inside the Aula Pacis.
