This is the first film in a new Human Rights at Sea educational series titled: “An Introduction to Human Rights,” which was supported by the University of Bristol’s Human Rights Implementation Centre.
The aim of the project is to ensure on-going public advocacy to address the explicit need to openly and transparently discuss the full range of human rights issues, particularly in a maritime environment.
The films will highlight the protections to which everyone is entitled to under established national and international law.
David Hammond, CEO, Human Rights at Sea, commented:
The charity continues to innovate, advocate and lead on the explicit issue of human rights in the maritime environment. This new film series will fully explore all aspects of our work through close academic and industry partnerships to ensure balanced representation of the issues exposed.
Dr. Sofia Galani of the University of Bristol’s Human Rights Implementation Centre, commented:
Bristol law students and I have great pleasure in contributing to the background research of the charity’s educational films. The new features are a testament of the charity’s commitment to educating seafarers about their human rights and raising awareness about the importance of safeguarding those rights at sea.
The film was developed by Human Rights at Sea in partnership with the University of Bristol’s Human Rights Implementation Centre and Marlins, V.Group’s training business.
Callum Fleming, multimedia developer at Marlins, said:
This can be a complex and emotional topic and we wanted to create a contemporary, engaging video that would help all seafarers, regardless of their nationality, understand what their human rights are. We are proud to have been selected to support Human Rights at Sea in this campaign and work has now begun on the second video.
