The international conference named “On the Brink 2” got underway at Kowsar Hotel in central Tehran on Wednesday morning.

Twenty-five human rights figures and experts from Europe and North America have participated in the two-day event.

The gathering focuses on the latest developments in the Middle East region and the world.

The 3rd New Horizon Conference was dedicated to a number of subjects, including a review of police brutality towards blacks in the US.

Called “On the Brink”, the event took place in early fall last year.
