Sikh Federation (UK) is delighted to announce the first WORLD SIKH LOBBY will be taking place at the United Nations in Switzerland on 25 and 26 March 2007. Around 150 Sikh representatives are expected from over 15 different countries. This event is planned to coincide with the 4th session of the UN Human Rights Council and the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.
The World Sikh Lobby will begin:
- On Sunday 25 March with an international Sikh human rights conference at Gurdwara Sahib Switzerland (Langenthal) with non-Sikh speakers and the media.
- On the same evening there will be one of the largest international gatherings of Sikh delegates from across the world to finalise arrangements for the UN Human Rights Council awareness rally on 26 March and to discuss the international political strategy of the Sikh Nation.
- On Monday 26 March there will be a Sikh human rights awareness rally outside the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Several Sikh represenatives are expected to enter the UN to raise Sikh concerns and a Memorandum will be submitted on behalf on the Sikh Nation.
- The Sikh Federation (UK) is also in discussions with the UN for a special Sikh human rights event to take place inside the UN.
Bhai Amrik Singh, the Chair of the Sikh Federation (UK) said:
"The World Sikh Lobby will be an unprecendented event that will see all the leading Panthic organisations throughout the world unite under one banner and set out the Sikh Nations demands from a human rights perspective."
