To mark United Nations Day, Ciné-ONU and the Goethe Institute invite you to the screening of “Un certain monsieur Joinet” on 24 October 2012 at 18.30 at the Goethe Institute in Brussels.
About the film
Louis Joinet has dedicated his whole life to protecting the human rights of people around the world. As a member of the Human Rights Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities, Joinet severely criticised the dictatorships in Eastern Europe and Latin America.
According to Amnesty International, “the documentary gives an insight into the fifty years of struggle by Louis Joinet for human rights, from the war in Algeria to Pinochet’s Chile, from enforced disappearances to the fight against impunity”. Read more about the film.
