As a capital with international influence, Paris is involved in major global issues- solidarity initiatives, cultural exchanges, European policies and cooperation.
Paris has inspired the world's greatest artists, remaining an open capital of culture where creators from all over the world meet, share, and produce their work. The City of Paris is a worldwide symbol of human rights and freedom of the press. This is a privilege, but also a responsibility of promoting this values.
Paris joined ICORN in January 2011 and has since hosted a number of writers, artists, and journalists, including Mana Neyestani, Najati Tayara, Nazeeha Saeed, Amira Al-Sharif, and Jannatun Nayeem Prity.
In 2016, Paris hosted the ICORN General Assembly.
