The “ International Observatory on Fundamental Rights in the light of solidarity personalism ” ( OIDF ) is an academic space for reflection and dialogue dedicated to the study of fundamental rights, based on a conception that places the dignity of the human person as the axis of the legal order.
It has an international Scientific Committee made up of professors with recognized academic experience, which guides the activity of the OIDF and guarantees the rigor of its contents.
The initiative is aimed at law students, recent graduates and academics interested in the contemporary challenges these rights pose, from both a legal and ethical perspective.
Its main activity is carried out through international webinars, organized periodically and with the participation of specialists from different regions of the world, in which current issues related to the subject are addressed.
In this context, the OIDF is consolidated as an academic area of international scope dedicated to the analysis and dissemination of fundamental rights in light of solidarity personalism.
