Marc Scheuer is director of the Secretariat of the Alliance of Civilizations, a political initiative under the auspices of the UN Secretary General. Most of his previous activity has been with the Council of Europe (Strasbourg, France) in the fields of political advice and cooperation and of human rights protection. As a director of political advice and cooperation in that Organization, he has notably been in charge of conflict prevention programs and post-conflict reconstruction initiatives. He coordinated the Council of Europe’s early response to 9/11 events, including addressing the roots of terrorism and contributed to the development of intercultural and interreligious dialogue.

Before joining the Alliance, he was the director of the Office of the Human Rights Commissioner, managing a team of lawyers who assist the Commissioner in making country assessments and policy recommendations. A doctor at law from Louvain University (Belgium), he has been a long-standing member of the Board of the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) and a lecturer at Robert Schuman University (Strasbourg).
