Titled “The Frailties of Western Civilization,” the lecture explored themes of colonialism and imperialism, tracing their historical roots and connecting them to contemporary global crises. Speaking to a standing-room only audience which included people who had travelled from the far corners of New Brunswick, the human rights problem he addressed was this: “Civilizations are mortal. Is the current dominant civilization on its death-bed and if so, what is likely to replace it?” Mr. Ali is an Oxford-trained historian, novelist, and filmmaker. He has authored over fifty books on world history and politics, as well as six novels, including The Islam Quintet. His most recent books include Winston Churchill: His Times, His Crimes, and You Can't Please All: Memoirs 1980-2024. He is a longstanding editor at New Left Review and the Chair of Verso Press. The lecture was hosted by the Atlantic Human Rights Centre and co-sponsored by the Departments of Political Science, History, English, and Sociology.

(Dr. Murphy is seen here at the event with former student and Research Assistant Emilia Gutierrez.) The book addresses the perennial question of who has a ‘right’ to resist – and what, when, why and how – from a legal perspective. In her remarks introducing the event, fellow STU legal theorist Dr Karla O’Regan (Criminology and Criminal Justice), called the work “a formidable exposition of the right to resist … showcasing more than a decade of research Dr Murphy has dedicated to the question”, resulting in a book that is “brilliant, thoughtful, conceptually adventurous, fiercely pragmatic, and yet somehow, amidst a landscape of human rights atrocities, quite hopeful.” Dr Murphy said, “I am grateful to St Thomas University and to my talented Human Rights student Research Assistants for the support that made it possible to translate this research into a finished book. I hope my work inspires other scholars to do more research in this area, and that activists and advocates will find the material useful in their practice.” [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/32d3fcfd-eaaa-7a…] ORDER NOW<https://stu.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc&id…> Use discount code MURPHY24 for 20% off until May 31, 2025.

Final broadcast details forthcoming. They will also be published as a book. Congratulations, Alex!

She is also an executive member of the STU Pre-Law Society, a Moot Court competitor, and an active member of the STU Human Rights Initiative. Last year, Jazmyne was recognized as a Top Third Oralist at the University of Toronto Moot Court Cup. She recently completed an internship with the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission through the STU Human Rights Internship course, and will shortly embark on a summer internship with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association in partnership with the AHRC. Currently, Jazmyne serves as the Project Assistant with the AHRC. Her work with the AHRC focuses on conducting an environmental scan of New Brunswick’s human rights sector including its academic, legal, civil society, governmental, and civil service components, as well as the relevant provincial legislation and jurisprudence. Through this research, she aims to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the human rights sector challenges and opportunities in the province. She says, “working with the AHRC has reinforced my passion for human rights advocacy and research, equipping me with the knowledge and skills necessary for my future career in human rights law. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the Centre’s work and to collaborate with peers dedicated to advancing human rights in the region.” Meet the AHRC 2025 Intern Majd Mowahed is an international student from Syria currently in his third year of an Honour's degree in Human Rights. His commitment to human rights has been shaped by personal experiences, particularly through volunteering in Syria where he has contributed to various human rights initiatives. [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/26cbbf35-c7e7-ef…] Motivated by these experiences, Majd is currently working on a research project exploring the role of human rights commissions in Canada and internationally. His research involves conducting an extensive literature search on human rights commissions, national human rights institutions, and the Paris Principles, with the goal of creating an annotated bibliography under the guidance of the AHRC Director. Majd says that through this internship he is gaining valuable experience in human rights research and advocacy. “The opportunity to work with Dr. Murphy has been incredibly enriching, and I am learning a great deal about the practical application of human rights law,” Majd says. “Working with the Atlantic Human Rights Centre has been a particularly rewarding experience. The Centre’s commitment to advancing human rights, both locally and globally, aligns with my own values and aspirations. I am excited to contribute to the Centre’s mission and to continue expanding my knowledge of human rights law and practice. I am eager to learn from the talented team and to contribute to ongoing projects that make a real impact in the world.” Board Member Profiles Recently reappointed to the AHRC Advisory Board, Dr. Jamie Gillies connects Human Rights to Canadian Politics and Public Policy [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/2eeedb4d-9391-c3…] Dr. Jamie Gillies is Professor of Journalism and Communications, Chair of the Department of Journalism and Communications, and Executive Director of the Frank McKenna Centre for Communications and Public Policy. He is the editor of five books on political marketing in the recent Canadian and US elections. Dr. Gillies’s research focuses on executive leadership in Canada and the United States, political marketing and branding, and New Brunswick politics. He also writes about television, film and music. He has served on the board of the Atlantic Human Rights Centre since 2019. Dr. Gillies said, “The Atlantic Human Rights Centre is such an important space for discussion and exchange of ideas in these disruptive times. So many themes cross over between our respective disciplines and the AHRC provides a venue for these needed debates here at St. Thomas.” Meet the AHRC Vice-Chair, Dr. Kim Fenwick [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/b3dd92d3-c009-02…] Dr. Kim Fenwick has served as Vice-Chair (ex-officio) of the Atlantic Human Rights Centre Board since 2016. She holds a BSc from Acadia University, and an MA and PhD in Psychology from the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Fenwick joined the Department of Psychology at St. Thomas University in 1995 after teaching at the University of Western Ontario, and later served as Department Chair. She is also a past recipient of the University’s Excellence in Teaching Award and the author of numerous scholarly publications including her contribution to Witnesses and the Law. In 2012, she became Dean of Social Sciences, and was appointed Vice-President (Academic and Research) in 2016. She also served a 6-month term as Acting President and Vice-Chancellor of STU. Throughout her service to the AHRC she has ensured consistent high-level institutional support for our work. She says, “The Atlantic Human Rights Centre is an important resource not only for students and faculty at St. Thomas University, but also for the greater Fredericton community and the Atlantic Region. The Centre hosts two annual public lectures in human rights, the Dr. Bernie Vigod Memorial Lecture and the Dr. Abdul Lodhi Memorial Lecture. Through these lecture series, speakers of outstanding calibre have spoken on campus on topics such as the status of refugees, state brutality, government and corporate ethics, environmental ethics, the ‘deep state’, equality, individual rights, disarmament, profiling, racism, Indigenous law, among others. These lectures and other work undertaken by the Centre provides our students with outstanding learning opportunities in the classroom and engagement with society.” STU HUMAN RIGHTS PROGRAM UPDATES New Interdisciplinary Major: Reimagining Disability In the 2025-26 academic year, a new interdisciplinary major on human rights, ageing, and disability titled “Reimagining Disability” will be offered. Given New Brunswick's aging population, this interdisciplinary major will equip students and graduates with the skills needed to address the complex intersections of aging, disability, and human rights. Students will develop a deep understanding of policy, accessibility, and social inclusion, while gaining practical skills in research, advocacy, and community engagement. As part of this new major, a new course titled "Exploring Disability (HMRT-2113)" will be offered. The course will examine the history of disability and societal constructions of disability, including in media, workplaces, family, and environmental barriers. By examining ableism and ageism in society and how visible and invisible disabilities, including mental health and neurodiversity, intersect with our culture and institutions, this course will challenge cultural representations of disability in society by reframing disability as an issue of oppression, access, inclusion, and equality. Moot Court Update In- House Moot Court Competition [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/f4f9d961-4417-9b…] In November, STU Moot hosted an in-house tournament for the new Moot Court competition team. The case R. v. Hills asked whether a mandatory minimum sentence violated Hill’s Section 12 right to be protected against cruel and unusual punishment under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Students Grace Cunningham and Cameron Rouse (shown here left and centre) placed first out of their colleagues. Grace said, “Getting to compete in the in-house moot competition at STU was a great way to gain experience with mooting in a familiar environment while learning the ropes of effective oral advocacy.” Their prize for placing first included attending the Osgoode Cup at York University with the upper-year Moot Court team. Grace said, “The opportunity to compete at the Osgoode Cup with our team and against undergraduates who have been competing much longer than I have allowed me to get better with every round and have essential feedback from students and judges.” University of Toronto [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/89796783-3815-4d…] In February, six STU Moot Court competitors travelled to Toronto to compete in the University of Toronto’s Moot Court Competition to argue the case Canada (Attorney General) v. Power. Ellie Namit described it as “an amazing experience. The case was challenging for an undergraduate competition, as it dealt with intricacies of constitutional law. Where most competitions deal with rights violations this was more concerned with government functions, which took a lot of work to understand. But it also gave us insight into the workings of constitutional law and we learned a lot.” Ellie and Nicholas Reis moved on to the second day of the competitions. Together they beat out the first team and placed in the top eight. Nicholas. When asked how it felt to compete on the second day, Nicholas said “It was thrilling! It was an awesome feeling to have our work be recognized and move on to day two.” Profile of the STU Human Rights Initiative [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/672fa723-231a-da…] The STU Human Rights Initiative is a new student-led effort to promote human rights. This includes, but is not limited to, providing information, support, opportunities, and partnerships to the student body through engaging, motivating, and meaningful activities. Their goal is to offer everyone the opportunity to become human rights leaders and advocates for the issues that matter to them. Social issues and human rights are deeply interconnected, and human rights violations often serve as the root of deeply troubling societal problems that students may encounter in their life. The future of the Human Rights Initiative is to be recognized as a central avenue for addressing human rights issues both on campus and in the community. It aims to structure the initiative to foster collaboration and create projects that are acknowledged by the community.

Elizabeth Tuck [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/6eae31c9-dec9-4f…] Elizabeth Tuck (BA Hons, Class of 2020) is 1LJD/BCL Candidate at the McGill University Faculty of Law. After leaving STU, Elizabeth went on to pursue two master’s degrees: an MSc in Comparative Social Policy from the University of Oxford, and an LLM (with distinction) in Human Rights Law from Oxford Brookes University. Her LLM thesis argued that incarcerated people in the United Kingdom should have the right to vote on the premise that the disproportionate disenfranchisement – removing one’s right to vote – of people of colour ultimately dilutes their overall voting strength, and therefore violates the group element of the right to vote contained in Article 1, Protocol 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Elizabeth also has a focus on human rights for 2SLGBTQIA+communities on a local level through her work with Healthy Minds Cooperative based in Dartmouth, NS. Elizabeth leads suicide prevention programming for queer, trans, and 2Spirit communities, including increasing access to name changes for trans and non-binary people. She is also a long-time volunteer with the Girl Guiding movement where, in addition to running programming for girls and gender-diverse youth in her local community, she holds a volunteer position with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts focused on challenging appearance-related anxiety.

Dispatches from Down the Hill: STU HMRTS Grads Making a Difference at UNB Law School [https://mcusercontent.com/2c8a37d98a8af39d412d788dc/images/c4a5e594-acb0-1f…] In March, the University of New Brunswick’s newly established Feminist Legal Association (FLA) hosted the Law Needs Feminism Because conference—a compelling event that explored the intersections of law, gender, and social justice. One of the main organizers was STU HMRTs grad Julia Evans (BA Hons, Class of 2023). Conference attendees learned from a powerful lineup of speakers who challenged legal norms and underscored the need for feminist approaches within the justice system. The event created space for meaningful dialogue and encouraged participants to reflect on how feminist legal thinking can shape a more equitable future. Justice Sudaba Yameen shared insights on “Law Needs Feminism Because: Women in Afghanistan are still fighting for their basic rights.” Dr. Suzanne Zaccour (National Association of Women and the Law | L’Association nationale Femmes et Droit) presented on “Law Needs Feminism Because: Survivors deserve justice, not blame.” Dr. Rashmee Singh (University of Waterloo) spoke on “Law Needs Feminism Because: Only feminism can expose the law’s limits in countering domestic violence.” Are you a STU HMRTs grad making a difference at law school or in the legal profession?

CAHRI - last meeting and Terms of Reference for review
by Viviana Fernandez 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Dear all, Thank you to those who attended Wednesday's CAHRI meeting. Participants included Anna Purkey, Adele Perry, Virginia Caputto, Christina Szurlej, Shannonbrooke Murphy, Erick Sullivan and me (HRREC/uOttawa). Our last virtual meeting was in June 2022, so there were several aspects in the agenda, such as to review the purpose for CAHRI, type of desired collaborations, degree of formality for the organization (idea to create an affiliate or association under the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences?), website and promotion, and the Canadian Human Rights Yearbook. To tackle the first two points, we agreed to work on terms of reference. After going through notes from previous meetings since the creation of CAHRI and incorporating content from similar groups, I am happy to propose a draft (enclosed). The document contains information about how CAHRI was created and what we have done so far. It also goes through aspects of our operations. Please feel free to review and make comments. N.B. we intend to finalize the ToRs during our next meeting (see below). Adele will send a reminder about the listserv (how to use it to share information), recognizing that this remains an appropriate way to share information among CAHRI members. Shannonbrooke's Centre will continue to host our webpage, so please send her any updates that have to do with your representatives, websites or joint initiatives of interest. We look forward to discussing about these and other aspects during our next meeting on May 14th (invitation to follow). Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A.

In this publication, we highlight the research accomplishments of the faculty members, students, and others who are affiliated with CHRRJ, both in Canada and abroad. Their work helps advance the Centre’s mandate of expanding our understanding of human rights and restorative justice. In this newsletter, we recognize the wide-ranging research activities and events undertaken by the Centre’s network of researchers and collaborators. CHRRJ brings together a multi-disciplinary network of scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and community members to study human rights and restorative justice. These researchers are actively engaged in a range of important projects and activities, both within the Centre and beyond. This semester, the Centre is pleased to support several of its members’ events. These include Dr. Ingrid Waldron’s launch of her new book (From the Enlightenment to Black Lives Matter: Communities from the Colonial Era tothe Present); a talk in Dr. Paula Gardner’s Pulse Lab, by Dr. Smita Misra-Latty, titled “The Politics of Credibility: Medical Advocacy and the Fight for Migrant Health Justice”; and Dr. Chandrima Chakraborty’s, “Remembering Air India Flight 182: A 40th Anniversary Conference.” The Centre’s speaker’s series this semester features a talk by Dr. Antonio Paez on transportation equity, titled “Just Transportation.” This hybrid event will be held on March 6th and it promises to be an interesting and important discussion. (Details about the talk and registration are available in this newsletter and on the Centre’s website). In this issue of the newsletter, we are also pleased to highlight the impressive group of experts who have agreed to join the Centre’s external advisory board. The faculty members, visiting scholars, and students affiliated with the Centre have accomplished a great deal to be proud of over the past months. Over the next year, we will build on their achievements by continuing to work together and strengthen our research collaborations in Canada and abroad.

Workshop on Democratizing Human Rights: Towards an Inclusive and Participatory Human Rights Agenda A Project of the Participedia Human Rights Cluster Date: October 23-24, 2025 | Format: In-Person & Virtual The Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), in collaboration with the Human Rights Research Cluster of the Participedia Project, is organizing a workshop on October 23-24, 2025, at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON. We invite scholars, policymakers and practitioners in the fields of human rights, democracy and related disciplines to the workshop. This workshop will explore how participatory processes can address the tensions between majority rule and minority rights, and between the universality of human rights and the particularities of local contexts. We will explore the following themes: 1. Democracy and the Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights 2. Universal Human Rights and Democracy in the International Political Order 3. The Sociopolitical Implications of Deliberative Democracy for Human Rights 4. Democratic Innovations, Deliberative Technologies and Human Rights 5. Majority Rule, Minority Rights and Democracy in the Information Age 6. Human Rights, Democracy, and Environmental Sustainability As the cluster secures sponsorships, possible funding opportunities will be made known, with Global South and early-career scholars being prioritized. For inquiries, please contact via email at participediahumanrightscluster(a)gmail.com (mailto:participediahumanrightscluster@gmail.com) Remembering Air India Flight 182: A 40th Anniversary Conference May 24-25, 2025 McMaster University Hamilton Here is the conference registration link (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/remembering-air-india-flight-182-a-40th-annive…) . The date June 23, 2025, marks the 40th anniversary of the Air India Flight 182 bombing. Although this event was the largest mass killing of Canadian citizens in Canadian history, it is little known and seldom remembered in our national consciousness. A 2023 Angus Reid survey notes that nine-in-ten Canadians have little or no knowledge of this event. In memory of those lost and to honour the ongoing grief and activism of those left to mourn and seek wider recognition of this loss, we are planning a community-engaged scholarly conference. Our objectives are: 1) To educate the wider public on the Air India tragedy and its aftermath; 2) To center the voices and knowledge of Air India family members and advocacy organizations in public discourse and scholarly conversations; and 3) To foster knowledge exchange between scholars, creative artists and family members researching, writing about, or creating artistic responses to the bombing of AI Flight 182. Through this conference, we hope to reach a diverse range of stakeholders, including researchers, students, press, artists, the general public, and policymakers. Some events from the conference include the launch of the first-ever Air India memorial archive, an original dance performance by Sampradaya Dance Creations, panels featuring Air India Flight 182 family members and scholars, artist readings, and curatorial exhibits.

Pulse Talk Series Presents The Politics of Credibility: Medical Advocacy and the Fight for Migrant Health Justice with Dr. Smita Misra-Latty The Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) is co-sponsoring the Pulse Talk event on Friday, February 28, at 2 PM at Pulse Lab (TSH 719). Here is the registration link. (https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=B2M3RCm0rUKMJSjNSW9HcmP…) https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=B2M3RCm0rUKMJSjNSW9HcmP… Talk Description: "Medical professionals have long played a critical role in advocating for health justice, yet their activism is often met with institutional resistance. In an era where health justice is increasingly politicized, medical professionals who advocate for migrant health often find themselves at odds with institutional policies, public discourse, and professional norms. This talk examines the complex relationship between medical advocacy and credibility. It explores how physicians and healthcare workers negotiate their roles as both trusted medical experts and political actors. Using case studies of physician-advocates who have spoken out on issues such as migrant detention, asylum seekers' access to care, and pandemic-era border restrictions, this talk considers the barriers that discourage political engagement among medical professionals. These include the risk of professional censure to catering to politicized expectations of "neutrality." The talk will also cover some of the strategies that physician-advocates use to demonstrate credibility, mobilize support, and push for systemic change. Rather than framing advocacy as either a professional risk or an ethical responsibility for medical professionals, this talk asks what is at stake when those in positions of medical authority choose to speak (and how)—or remain silent (and how)—on issues of political and structural harm." About the Speaker: "Dr. Smita Misra-Latty is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Waterloo. An interdisciplinary scholar, her research explores topics like physician-advocacy, migrant resistance, the social construction of health, and medical authority. Her book project, titled Curating Believability, examines how physician-advocates and activists navigate a culture of suspicion due to their support of asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants. She teaches courses in science communication, race and gender studies, as well as seminars on critical health communication." Afterlives of Feminist Revolutions Conference The Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) recently co-sponsored the Afterlives of Feminist Revolutions Conference. This event, which was held on December 14, 2024, included panels that examined multiple intersections of gender and social justice, including digital feminist activism and the politics of resistance; connected struggles and transnational activism; as well as art and activism in the face of oppression. The conference also included an art exhibition. The event drew participants from all across the globe, including academics, emerging scholars, and human rights practitioners. Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh Advocates for Climate Justice at COP29 in Azerbaijan  At the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29), held in Azerbaijan from November 11-22, 2024, Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh, a member of the McMaster Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), presented the preliminary findings of his climate justice study mandated by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Supported by a team of researchers at the Centre, Dr. Ibhawoh’s work shed new light on the ethical dimensions of global climate action.  In addition to his presentation, Dr. Ibhawoh engaged in bilateral consultations with key stakeholders, emphasizing the urgent need to address climate change through the lens of justice and equity. His contributions underscored the importance of incorporating the perspectives of the Global South into climate negotiations, which have historically been dominated by the interests of the Global North.  Dr. Ibhawoh’s study focused on the concept of climate justice, which highlights the uneven distribution of climate change’s impacts across the world. Describing it as a “cruel case of injustice upon injustice,” he stated, “The people who stand to suffer the most from climate change have the least responsibility for causing it and the fewest resources to avoid its ravages.” He argued that those who have benefited most from carbon-intensive development bear an ethical responsibility to reduce emissions and support the communities most affected by climate change.  Dr. Ibhawoh called for a more inclusive and equitable process, pointing out that the current system lacks legitimacy due to its failure to adequately address the needs of vulnerable nations. His advocacy for a more ethical and inclusive approach resonated strongly with participants and demonstrated the essential role of climate justice in achieving sustainable solutions. Dr. Ibhaowh's Study will be published by the UN Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development in April 2025. ============================================================ ** Website (https://chrrj.humanities.mcmaster.ca/) ** Email (mailto:chrrj@mcmaster.ca) ** YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@centreforhumanrightsandres9661) ** Twitter (http://www.x.com/McMaster_CHRRJ) Copyright © 2025 Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice, All rights reserved.

INVITATION -- 19.11.2024 @ 11:30 (EST) --- Spiritualité, équité en matière de santé & justice structurelle : Quelques réflexions sur les droits de l'enfant | Spirituality, health equity & structural justice: Some reflections on children's rights
by Viviana Fernandez 04 Nov '24

Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. English follows. Le Laboratoire de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les droits de l'enfant (LRIDE) et la Faculté de droit, Section de droit civil sont heureux de vous inviter à cet événement hybride en anglais dans le cadre des Ateliers de la recherche de la Section de droit civil : Spiritualité, équité en matière de santé & justice structurelle : Quelques réflexions sur les droits de l'enfant<https://www.uottawa.ca/faculte-droit/droit-civil/lride/evenements/spiritual…> Au Canada, les ressources nécessaires pour jouir d'une bonne santé sont inégalement réparties. Dans les populations d'enfants, cela inclut des besoins tels que le revenu, le logement et la sécurité alimentaire, qui sont des indicateurs fondamentaux de l'équité en matière de santé. Pourtant, les enfants peuvent avoir leurs besoins matériels de base satisfaits et être encore loin de vivre une vie épanouie. Les ressources immatérielles, comme la spiritualité, sont également essentielles à l'épanouissement. Le terme « spiritualité » est souvent associé à un « bagage conceptuel », qui peut être l'une des raisons pour lesquelles la dimension spirituelle de la santé est largement ignorée par les programmes de santé traditionnels et n'est pas souvent prise en compte dans les discussions sur les droits de l'enfant. La spiritualité est pourtant un indicateur important de l'équité en matière de santé, et le 35e anniversaire de la Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant, qui reconnaît la spiritualité à quatre reprises, est un moment opportun pour examiner la relation entre la spiritualité, la justice structurelle et l'épanouissement. Rejoignez la conférencière invitée, Valerie Michaelson, professeure associée en sciences de la santé à l'Université Brock. Ses recherches collaboratives et porteuses de changement se concentrent sur l'équité en matière de santé, les droits de l'enfant et les droits spirituels. Outre l'étude de la manière dont les contextes sociaux, structurels et culturels façonnent la santé et le bien-être, la professeure Michaelson explore également les façons complexes dont la culture, la religion et la spiritualité façonnent les croyances, les attitudes et les comportements humains, y compris en relation avec la colonisation. La majorité de ses recherches transdisciplinaires et collaboratives se concentrent sur les populations d'enfants et d'adolescents.

In child populations, this includes needs such as income, housing and food security, which are fundamental indicators of health equity. Yet, children can have their basic tangible needs met and still be far from living fulfilling lives. Intangible resources-such as spirituality-are also essential to flourishing. The term spirituality often carries with it "conceptual baggage", which may be one of the reasons that the spiritual dimension of health is essentially ignored by mainstream health agendas and not often considered in a robust manner in children's rights discussions. This is short sighted. Spirituality is an important indicator of health equity, and the 35-year anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recognizes spirituality four times, is an opportune time to consider the relationship between spirituality, structural justice, and flourishing. Join our guest speaker, Dr. Valerie Michaelson, Associate Professor in Health Sciences at Brock University. Her collaborative and change-generating research focuses on health equity, children's rights and spiritual rights. In addition to studying how social, structural and cultural contexts shape health and well-being, Dr. Michaelson also explores the complex ways that culture, religion and spirituality shape human beliefs, attitudes and behaviours, including in relation to colonization. The majority of her transdisciplinary and reciprocal research focuses on child and adolescent populations.

31 Oct '24

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/32698315e4af/fall-2024-newsletter-of-the-centre-for-huma…) Welcome to the Fall 2024 edition of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) newsletter. In this issue, we recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of the Centre’s members and others affiliated with CHRRJ, both in Canada and abroad. Their research and related activities support and advance the Centre’s goal of expanding our understanding of human rights’ issues, today and in the past. The CHRRJ brings together a multi-disciplinary network of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who study human rights and restorative justice. This newsletter shows that the conferences, publications, and other activities that our members and collaborators have undertaken since Winter 2024 advance the Centre’s mandate in diverse and creative ways. Events such as the launch marking the publication of Dr. Proscovia Svard and Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh’s new book Documentation from Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (resulting from a conference that the Centre organized) is just one example. Another is the Participedia conference and summer school held in South Africa this past June. As Nnamdi Nnake shows in his description of this event, engaging students in activities like this is a key part of the Centre’s mandate. Through their involvement in these and other events, the Centre’s members contribute to scholarly understandings of human rights and restorative justice and to efforts to advance public conversations on these important subjects. The Centre itself provides important logistical and financial assistance for these activities. Through its support for conferences and its collaborative book series with McGill-Queens University Press (“Confronting Atrocity: Human Rights and Restorative Justice”), it helps disseminate the results of its members’ research. The Centre’s new speakers’ series (established last year) provides yet another venue that members and collaborators can use to engage with colleagues and members of the wider community. For our Winter 2025 Speakers’ Series, we look forward to the upcoming talk by Dr. Antonio Paez (March 2025) on his work with the “Mobilizing Justice” project which addresses transportation equity policies. During the year ahead, the members and associates of the Centre will have many opportunities to build on these accomplishments by continuing to pursue their research and other activities and by developing new and exciting projects. The Book Launch of Documentation From Truth and Reconciliation Commissions The book Documentation from Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, edited by Dr. Proscovia Svard and Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh and published by Routledge in 2024, was launched on September 17th with an in-person event at Sorbonne University in Abu Dhabi, alongside a simultaneous event at McMaster University in Canada. This book originated from a virtual conference titled “Truth Commissions: Issues of Access and Ownership”, which was co-organized in October 2022 by the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), Sorbonne University in Abu Dhabi, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba (Canada), the Social Science Research Council’s African Peacebuilding Network Program (USA), and the Nelson Mandela Foundation (South Africa). The book launch was hosted in a forum that encourages scholarly dialogue, and it featured contributions from prominent experts who discussed the significance of documentation in the reconciliation process. Dr. Trudy Peterson of the International Council on Archives, Human Rights Section was the commentator at the book launch. Dr. Tunde A. Abioro of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria and Mr. Daniel Ospina Celis of Dejusticia, Colombia, briefly commented on their chapters. The book itself compiles a diverse range of case studies and critical analyses from various truth commissions worldwide. The authors emphasize the importance of documentation as a means of preserving historical memory and as a tool for fostering accountability and promoting restorative justice. During the launch, speakers underscored the role of truth commissions in confronting past atrocities and the challenges faced in ensuring that the voices of victims are heard and validated. The discussions also touched upon the broader impact of such commissions on policy-making and societal attitudes towards justice and reconciliation. Book Discussion on “Democracy and the Legacies of Truth and Reconciliation” The 2024 Participedia Partners Conference was hosted at the University of the Western Cape (Cape Town, South Africa) between June 6-7, 2024. The conference program included a capstone panel on “Democracy and the Legacies of Truth and Reconciliation,” organized by the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) and the Participedia Partners Conference. The panellists were Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh (McMaster University, Canada), Dr. Serges Kamga (University of the Free State, South Africa) and Dr. Jasper Ayelazuno (University of Development Studies, Ghana). The panel was moderated by Dr. Fiona Anciano (University of Western Cape, South Africa). The panel’s discussion centred on the book Truth Commissions and State Building. The panellists commented on the contributions of the book to the scholarship on democracy and transitional justice. During the Question and Answer session, panellists reflected on the context and legacies of commissions in various countries. After the panel, the editors signed copies of the book and donated copies to local civil society organizations represented at the event. The hybrid event was open to the public, drawing in-person participants from Cape Town as well as online listeners from around the world. The reception that followed provided a welcoming atmosphere for dialogue on the issues raised in the book. Participants at the event included academics, policymakers, community leaders, and representatives of NGOs and activists. A Conversation with Dr. Michele Johnson An interview conducted by Matthew Monrose and Dr. Juanita De Barros with York University’s Dr. Michele Johnson as part of the Centre’s Speakers’ Series was recently published in the Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (vol. 49, no. 2). Dr. Johnson is the former coordinator of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program at York University and the former director of the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa and Its Diasporas. Titled “Reflections on Researching the Caribbean and Black Canadian History: An Interview with Michele Johnson,” the article (and the CHRRJ interview on which it was based) focused on Dr. Johnson’s work on Caribbean history and her recent, award-winning co-edited publication, Unsettling the Great White North: Black Canadian History. The interview covered historical methodology (including the use of oral sources), the history of gender, and Black Canadian history, including the West Indian Domestic Labour Scheme. Katie Lewis, Nnamdi Nnake and Nadim Al Nakhl helped shape it into an article. Members News New Book by Dr. Ingrid Waldron We are excited to share the cover and description of Dr. Waldron’s forthcoming book From the Enlightenment to Black Lives Matter: Tracing the Impacts of Racial Trauma in Black Communities from the Colonial Era to the Present. The book will be published on November 25, 2024. You can pre-order the book at Emerald Publishing starting on October 26, 2024, here (https://bookstore.emerald.com/from-the-enlightenment-to-black-lives-matter-…) . “Ingrid Waldron has done something truly remarkable: authored a definitive exploration of the effects of racism on Black mental health.” - Jonathan M. Metzl, Author of What We’ve Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms Since the Age of Enlightenment, Black bodies have been sites of trauma. Drawing on anti-colonial theory, From the Enlightenment to Black Lives Matter interrogates how this has shaped understandings of Black life, Black trauma and Black responses to trauma within psychiatry and other mental health professions. Focusing on the impact of racism on the mental health of Black communities in Canada, the UK and the US, author Ingrid R.G. Waldron examines the structural inequities that have contributed to the legacy of racial trauma in Black communities. Drawing on existing literature, as well as the voices of Black Canadians who participated in recent studies conducted by the author, Waldron uses an intersectional analysis to pinpoint how the intersections of race, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age and citizenship status shape experiences of racial trauma, mental illness and help-seeking in Black communities. Tracing the ideological representations of Black people within psychiatric and other mental health institutions that influence the diagnoses applied to them, chapters also highlight the beliefs and perceptions Black communities hold about mental health and help-seeking. A timely challenge to the colonial and imperial legacy of psychiatry, From the Enlightenment to Black Lives Matter demonstrates how the politics of race and psychiatric diagnosis collide when diagnosing Black people and what this means for our current public health crisis. Ingrid R.G. Waldron is Professor and HOPE Chair in Peace and Health in the Global Peace and Social Justice Program in the Department of History, Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University, and an active member of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice. New Edited Book by Dr. Jorge Fabra-Zamora We are excited to share the cover and description of Dr. Jorge Fabra-Zamora’s forthcoming volume, co-edited with Gonzalo Villa-Rosas and Jorge Nunez, Kelsen’s Legacy: Legal Normativity, International Law and Democracy. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of Hans Kelsen's legal and political philosophy, focusing on four central themes. The first part analyses Kelsen's theory of norms, including its periodisation and concepts of validity and coercion. The second part explores his perspectives on international law, addressing its structural analysis, primitive law characterisation, and teleology. The third part examines Kelsen's theory of democracy, its relationship with the pure theory of law, collective will, and democratisation of the administration. The final part discusses Kelsen's influence on the Vienna School of Legal Theory and its impact on case law and jurisprudence beyond Europe. This collection is essential for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand Kelsen's legacy. Jorge Fabra-Zamora is currently an Associate Professor of Law at the University at Buffalo School of Law, State University of New York, and an active member of the Center for Human Rights and Restorative Justice. Grant and Research Support at CHRRJ The Centre can provide support for its members’ research projects, conferences, and workshops. The Director, Dr. De Barros, can also provide letters of support detailing the Centre’s assistance when members apply for grants. The Centre provided support for the following international conferences and workshops organized by its members in 2024/25. “Austin Clarke, Black Studies and Black Diasporic Memory Conference”, September 26-27, 2024 Conference Co-convenor: Dr. Ronald Cummings “Transnational feminist dialogues: Intersecting struggles in the wake of the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' uprising in Iran Conference”, December 14, 2024 Conference Co-convenor: Dr. Paula Gardner “Air India Flight 182: A 40th Anniversary Conference”, May 23-24, 2025 Conference Convenor: Dr. Chandrima Chakraborty “Workshop on Democratizing Human Rights: Towards an Inclusive and Participatory Human Rights Agenda”, July 2025 Conference Convenor: Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh From September 21-23, Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh, UN human rights expert on the Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development, participated in the United Nations Summit of the Future held at the UN Headquarters in New York. The summit brought together 142 world leaders, marking a critical moment for global governance and multilateralism. At the summit, three pivotal outcome documents were adopted: the Pact for the Future and its two annexes—the Declaration on Future Generations and the Global Digital Compact. These documents represent a collective commitment to reinvigorate multilateral cooperation in addressing pressing global challenges, including climate change, inequality, and technological governance. Dr. Ibhawoh engaged in high-level consultations and bilateral discussions with state delegates, focusing on practical strategies for operationalizing these principles in the context of global development goals. The UN Pact for the Future serves as a foundational framework for McMaster University’s Global Dialogues on Global Challenges, aligning local and international efforts to address some of the most urgent issues of our time. Sara Abdella We’re excited to share that Zeynep Yilmaz, the host of the Just Participation podcast series, whom I co-founded the podcast with, represented the series at the Participedia Partners Conference 2024, held from June 6-7 in Cape Town, South Africa. During the conference, Participedia’s director, Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh and other presenters highlighted the podcast as a key initiative within the Participedia project. During the conference, Zeynep engaged with numerous attendees, exploring their work and projects to identify potential guests for upcoming podcast seasons. Upon her return to Canada, she brought back a diverse lineup of potential guests. The team is currently researching their backgrounds, exploring how best to pair them for upcoming episodes, and crafting topics. The next season seeks to spotlight grassroots work, blending academic insights with real-world applications in the field of democratic innovations. The actual theme of the season will be a surprise! Stay tuned for what’s to come! Grants Awarded Congratulations to Dr. Paula Gardner, who was awarded the SSHRC Connection Grant for “Transnational feminist dialogues: Intersecting struggles in the wake of the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' uprising in Iran.” Congratulations to Dr. Melike Yilmaz, who was awarded McMaster’s International Initiatives Micro Fund Grant (IIMF) for the “The Voices of Refugees and Displaced Persons Project.” Awards We are happy to share that Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh's edited book Truth Commissions and State Building, which emerged from a series of conferences organized by the centre, has been awarded the ASA Best Africa-focused Anthology or Edited Collection Prize. (https://africanstudies.org/asa-news/african-studies-review-2024-prize-winne….) https://bookstore.emerald.com/from-the-enlightenment-to-black-lives-matter-… Reflections on the 2024 Participedia Partner's Conference and Summer School Over a two-week period this summer, I joined a global cohort of scholars, political scientists and policy makers, to partake in the 2024 Partner's Conference and Summer School hosted by Participedia in conjunction with the Politics and Urban Governance Research Group at the University of the Western Cape. The Partner’s Conference was held from June 6-7 and consisted mostly of expert panels which examined the past work and future plans of Participedia’s different clusters within thematic frames of: (1) accountability within and beyond the State; (2) charting new paths for representation, rights and new materialisms; (3) digital democracy; and (4) theories, practices and traditions of deliberation and transparency. One major part of the Conference was the book launch for a collection of essays titled, Democracy and the Legacies of Truth and Reconciliation, co-edited by Professor Bonny Ibhawoh, the Director of Participedia. The Participedia School on Transnational Democratic Innovations (Summer School), opened in a hybrid format on June 10, joining attendees at two in-person campuses; one situated at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the other at the University of the Western Cape. For the next week, Summer School attendees reflected on citizen participation and tested new ways of deepening democracy. Its fourfold objectives were to facilitate exchange between early career scholars and experts in the field; enable knowledge sharing through co-design and co-learning; knowledge synthesis; and professional development. The Summer School encompassed several highlights, including a panel discussion titled, “Challenges and Possibilities in Global Democratic Governance”, which featured Vijay Prashad of the Tricontinental Institute, and Ambassador Keisha McGuire of the Present and Future Institute. Another panel examined questions of global governance through hot topics like genome editing, as well as AI and algorithms. Participants also applied the principles of Design Thinking to brainstorm on problems of democratic innovation and transnational governance. These included case studies on truth and reconciliation commissions, sanitation, and renewable energy. By applying the Participedia Design Project and Canvas, Summer School students critically analyzed these issues and developed recommendations. As a graduate student, the opportunity to network with experts in the field of democratic innovation was a great addition to my professional development. I also received a diploma from the Coady Institute for participation in the Summer School. What a feeling...! Nnamdi Nnake PhD Candidate, History McMaster University Call for Papers for Workshop on Democratizing Human Rights: Towards an Inclusive and Participatory Human Rights Agenda A Project of the Participedia Human Rights Cluster Date: July 2025 | Venue: Hamilton, Canada | Format: In-Person & Virtual Background The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in 1948, set forth fundamental rights and freedoms to which all individuals are entitled. However, the implementation and protection of these rights have often been uneven, as international human rights laws are frequently shaped by geopolitical dynamics and interests, questions of national sovereignty, and assertions of cultural particularities. Over 75 years later, the universality of human rights remains both a foundational ideal and a source of ongoing tension, as the practical application of these rights often reflects imbalances in power and privilege. The challenges of universal human rights lie in the gap between theoretical principles and the diverse realities of global populations. International human rights frameworks are frequently shaped by a top-down approach, with little room for local voices—particularly those from marginalized or vulnerable communities—to influence how rights are defined and upheld. This imbalance has prompted calls for the democratization of human rights: a process that invites broader participation in the interpretation and implementation of human rights, allowing for the voices of ordinary people to play a more central role in shaping the global rights agenda. The democratization of human rights also seeks to transform local and international institutional practices to have the capacity to apply rights equitably. Two key elements of this democratization process are democratic innovations—comprising new forms of participatory governance—and deliberative democracy—centered on reasoned discussion and collective decision-making Both have emerged as critical frameworks for revitalizing democracy. These approaches offer pathways to deepen citizen engagement, enhance the quality of decision-making, and overcome some of the limitations inherent in traditional democratic models. Yet, democratic practices alone are inadequate to ensure the protection of marginalized or vulnerable populations. To foster truly just and equitable societies, democracy must be mediated by human rights principles, ensuring that political systems not only reflect the will of the majority but also protect the rights of all individuals, particularly those who might otherwise be marginalized or silenced. The relationship between democracy and human rights is thus fundamentally symbiotic. Democracy reinforces the inclusive and universalist ethos of human rights, while human rights principles serve as a critical check against the potential "tyranny" of majoritarian rule. We invite scholars, policymakers and practitioners in the fields of human rights, democracy and related disciplines to submit paper proposals for a workshop on democratizing human rights. This workshop will explore how participatory processes can address the tensions between majority rule and minority rights, and between the universality of human rights and the particularities of local contexts. Proposals should draw connections between democracy and human rights. We are also interested in proposals to examine how democratic innovation and mechanisms of deliberative democracy can help actualize the core principles of human rights—such as dignity, equality, and justice—by making them responsive to the needs and voices of all people, especially those who have historically been marginalized, both within states and transnationally. We welcome proposals that explore, but are not limited to, the following themes, and consider diverse theoretical and empirical perspectives: 1. Democracy and the Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights 2. Universal Human Rights and Democracy in the International Political Order 3. The Sociopolitical Implications of Deliberative Democracy for Human Rights 4. Democratic Innovations, Deliberative Technologies and Human Rights 5. Majority Rule, Minority Rights and Democracy in the Information Age 6. Human Rights, Democracy, and Environmental Sustainability Interested participants should send a proposal, including the title of their paper, a 300-word abstract, and a 100-word biography, to participediahumanrightscluster(a)gmail.com Proposals are due on January 15, 2025. Selected papers will be announced in February 2025. The workshop is scheduled for July 2025. Format and Funding The workshop will be held in-person, with a selection of sessions conducted in hybrid format. We are in the process of securing sponsorships and cannot currently guarantee that funding will be available. Where possible, Global South and Early Career Scholars will be prioritized for funding opportunities.

You will also find a call for institutes/centres who may be interested in becoming members. If this is the case of your organization, please let me know as the application requires a sponsor and HRREC could play this role. Our Centre has been a member since 2015 and I am currently serving in their Executive board. Happy to answer any questions you may have to decide on this point. Of course, you can also register to receive their newsletter which will give you an idea of activities and information shared. Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A.

If your institute is interested in hosting the AHRI conference in 2026 please submit an expression of interest by 26 August 2024 and let me know if you have any questions about hosting the conference. AHRI makes a financial contribution (currently 8000 euro) to the conference host. Do you know a human rights institute that you think may be interested in joining AHRI? Ask them to check out the membership informaiton on the AHRI website (https://new.ahri-network.org/membership-application-guidelines/) and contact me for any questions they may have about membership. New members are admitted at the General Assembly so encourage any prospective new member to apply by 26 August.

Please subscribe to the AHRI newsletter if you don't already do so: https://new.ahri-network.org/newsletter/ Also encourage staff and students at your institute to subscribe to the newsletter. We have had technical problems with delivery of the monthly newsletter in some months but they are all available in the archives On AHRIs website you can view the statement issued by the AHRI Executive Board in April on the Gaza war. On a related issue see the request from Rachel Murray below. Regards, Magnus ---- Dear AHRI colleagues In light of on-campus demonstrations regarding the situation in Palestine, a team of students in the Human Rights Law Clinic, which operates under the Human Rights Implementation Centre at the University of Bristol, are involved in drafting reports on freedom of expression, and assembly in these contexts, as well as other rights issues impacting on the students who participate. We would like to reach out to see if there are other similar student groups in any AHRI centre or institute with whom our team could connect. Please reach out to me if such a group exists within your institution or if you require any further information. With regards Rachel Murray (Director, Human Rights Implementation Centre, University of Bristol, UK): rachel.murray(a)bristol.ac.uk<mailto:rachel.murray@bristol.ac.uk>

Winter 2024 Newsletter of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice
by Centre for Human Rights & Restorative Justice 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/9764a3f12a04/winter-2024-newsletter-of-the-centre-for-hu…) Welcome to the Winter 2024 edition of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) newsletter. In this publication, we highlight the research accomplishments of the faculty members, students, and others affiliated with the Centre, both in Canada and internationally. Their efforts support the Centre’s work of expanding our understanding of human rights and restorative justice. The Centre’s recent collaboration with McGill-Queens University Press has resulted in a book series (“Confronting Atrocity: Human Rights and Restorative Justice”) which provides opportunities for CHRRJ members and their collaborators to disseminate their research on human rights and restorative justice, both in Canada and abroad. The series’ first publication is Truth Commissions and State Building, a collection of essays edited by Bonny Ibhawoh, Jasper Abembia Avelazuno, and Sylvia Bawa. This volume consists of articles produced at a recent CHRRJ-sponsored conference. In January 2024, the Centre held a book launch to celebrate the publication of this collection. Two more books are in the series’ pipeline, both of which resulted from CHRRJ-sponsored conferences. These manuscripts and the conferences on which they were based demonstrate the intellectual energy of the Centre’s members and collaborators and their engagement with pressing policy issues. The Centre’s new hybrid speakers’ series (which benefited from the generous support of McMaster University’s Research Centre and Institutes Engagement Fund) provides another forum for researchers to explore issues relating to human rights and restorative justice. Under the auspices of this series, the Centre co-sponsored a talk in October with McMaster University’s new Centre for Research on Community Oriented Entrepreneurs (CRCE). The CRCE’s director (and member of CHRRJ), Dr. Benson Honig, organized a talk by Dr. Arnon Degani titled “Still Processing: The Oslo Peace Process at 30.” The rich and lively discussion that followed this well-attended presentation demonstrates the value of the speakers’ series and indeed the willingness of CHRRJ members to facilitate important discussions about crucial current events. In the final event of our speaker’s series for 2023-2024, Dr. Michele Johnson joined us for a fascinating conversation about her research. Along with a PhD student from the History Department, Matthew Monrose, I talked to Dr. Johnson about her work on the Caribbean and the African diaspora, her experiences as the director of the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa and Its Diasporas, and her new co-edited book, Unsettling the Great White North: Black Canadian History. Those in attendance appreciated hearing about Dr. Johnson’s work over the years and responded with thoughtful questions. The faculty members, visiting scholars, and students affiliated with the Centre have accomplished a great deal to be proud of over this academic year, and I am delighted to have this opportunity to recognize their work. A Conversation with Dr. Michele Johnson On 13 February 2024, the Centre (CHRRJ) hosted Dr. Michele Johnson in a profound conversation about her work on African diaspora, Black Canadian, and Caribbean histories. Dr. Johnson holds a Ph.D. in History from Johns Hopkins University and has taught in the Department of History at York University since July 2002. Amongst other eminent contributions, she has served as the former coordinator of York’s Latin American and Caribbean Studies Programme and was the Director of the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa and its Diasporas from 2013 to 2018. This event was unique, both as the final episode in the Centre’s inaugural, hybrid speaker series that engages experts in diverse disciplines and geographies; and for its format which took the form of an informal conversation. Dr. Johnson was interviewed by Dr. Juanita De Barros, and PhD candidate, Matthew Monrose, both of the History Department at McMaster University. Their discussions centered Dr. Johnson’s research on the history of the Caribbean and the African diaspora and her recent co-edited collection, Unsettling the Great White North: Black Canadian History (University of Toronto Press, 2022). The conversation covered a range of topics, including gender and domestic work; oral history, archives, and research methodologies; diversity in the Black and African communities; the rhetoric and reality of Canadian multiculturalism. Guest Speaker Dr. Arnon Degani The Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), in collaboration with the Centre for Research on Community-Oriented Entrepreneurship (CRCE) at McMaster University, hosted Dr. Arnon Degani as a guest speaker. Dr. Degani is a historian specializing in the history of Zionism, Palestinian nationalism, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On November 23rd, 2023, Dr. Degani’s guest speaking appearance entitled “Still Processing: The Oslo Peace Processes at 30" focused on examining the Oslo Accords and contributes to the debate on if and how the settler-colonialism comparative framework benefits the study of Israel and Palestine. Dr. Degani’s professional background ranges from teaching courses in Middle East Studies, Jewish studies, and global histories of colonialism to being a member of the University of Pennsylvania's Middle East Studies regional scholars program and a Fellow at Hebrew University's Avraham Harman Center for Contemporary Jewry. His talk was met with interest across the campus. Book Launch & Discussion On January 25, 2024, the Centre (CHRRJ) hosted a hybrid launch event for the first volume of its book series, “Confronting Atrocity: Human Rights and Restorative Justice.” Co-edited by Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh, Dr. Jasper Abembia Avelazuno, and Dr. Sylvia Bawa, this inaugural volume is titled Truth Commissions and State Building and was published by McGill-Queens University Press. The book is a collection of essays written by experts and it permits comparative analysis via the application of varied lenses to examine truth commissions in various African countries. Speaking on its objectives and the target audience, Dr. Ibhawoh noted that the book would appeal to academics, policymakers, and practitioners as it engages the ongoing dialogue on truth commissions which act as both a measure for driving transitional and restorative justice, as well as a mechanism for rebuilding post-authoritarian and post-conflict states. Other highlights of the event included a keynote speaker, Dr. David Webster, an expert on truth commissions, and chapter summaries by Abena Asare, Jasper Ayelazuno, Roger Southall, and Sylvia Bawa. The book launch also featured a Q&A session that touched on the effectiveness of truth commissions, their importance for sustaining historical consciousness in post-conflict societies, and the tensions between interpreting truth commissions as legal or cultural phenomena, amongst others. With the successful launch of the first book in its series, the CHRRJ reflects the intellectual energy and commitment of the Centre’s members and collaborators. Discussion of Truth Commissions and State Building in South Africa Participedia’s Partners Conference will be held at the University of Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa, on June 6 & 7, 2024. The conference program includes a discussion of Truth Commissions and State Building, the first book in the centre's series “Confronting Atrocity: Human Rights and Restorative Justice” with McGill-Queens University Press. Chapters in this book explore the possibilities and limitations of truth commission processes as democratic innovations - participatory, deliberative processes that can have transformative impacts on post-conflict and post-authoritarian societies. The chapters draw on data from the Global Truth and Reconciliation Commission Collection of Participedia, which analyzes Truth Commissions as innovative deliberative and dialogic processes and the Truth Commissions Report Database of the Confronting Atrocity Project, which is housed in the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice. Visiting Scholar Dr. Lin Sun, who has been a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) for the past year, returned to her University in China in February. Dr. Sun is an Assistant Professor of African American Studies and Gender Studies at the Center for American Studies, School of English Studies, Shanghai International Studies University, China, and was a visiting scholar at the Centre from Feb. 2023 to Feb. 2024. Her research and teaching focus on African American literature, motherhood studies, Black feminism, and intersectionality. She has just completed her research on “Identity Politics of American Black Motherhood” under the supervision of Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh. Her recent work has appeared in The Routledge Companion to Intersectionalities (2023). Visiting PhD Student Yeison Mauricio Cardenas Reyes is visiting McMaster to develop research on peace and pedagogy. Cardenas Reyes is a Colombian doctoral student at l’Université Grenoble Alpes in France, where he is working on peace pedagogies through language instruction. His research is interested in designing a system for teaching foreign languages (English and French) as a key pillar in providing training for teachers in rural, post-conflict areas. Through his project, Mauricio posits that these language initiatives are key components of the larger principles of peace education. He will be at McMaster University, working with colleagues in the Department of Global Peace and Justice Studies, the Department of History, and the CHRRJ, from March to July 2024.

How can movements for racial justice benefit from human rights strategies? Why are communities around the world organizing to demand the right to the city?

Fall 2023 Newsletter for the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice
by Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/9d55be774a2a/fall-2023-newsletter-for-the-centre-for-hum…) Director's Remarks Welcome to the Fall 2023 edition of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) newsletter. In this edition, we recognize and celebrate the research accomplishments of the faculty members, students, and others affiliated with the Centre as well as the work of those who belong to our network of partners within Canada and internationally. The work of this multidisciplinary group of scholars supports the mandate of the CHRRJ and advances the crucial task of expanding our understanding of human rights and restorative justice. The Centre would not .exist without their commitment and hard work. In this newsletter, we showcase our colleagues’ achievements. With the end of most pandemic restrictions, we have been able to transition to in-person events which have allowed for rich and exciting exchanges. But the virtual techniques we used during the pandemic remain useful and indeed, most of our events are now hybrid. One example is the recent and very successful colloquium on “Narratives of Trauma and Memory: The Legacies of the Human Rights Violations Investigations Commissions in Nigeria and the National Reconciliation Commission in Ghana.”This event was held in Nigeria, but the hybrid format allowed attendees from Canada and elsewhere to participate. The Centre’s new speakers’ series is also benefitting from these innovations. With support from McMaster University’s Research Centre and Institutes Engagement Fund, we will hold two hybrid events in the 2023-24 academic year. On October 4, Dr. Sascha Auerbach, the director of the Institute for the Study of Slavery at the University of Nottingham, gave a talk on “Late-Stage Slavery and Encounters with the Colonial State in the British Empire, 1823-1831.” And in February 2024, I will join a PhD student from the History Department (Matthew Monrose) to interview Dr. Michele Johnson about her research, her experiences as the director of the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa and Its Diasporas and her new book, Unsettling the Great White North: Black Canadian History. Under the auspices of this series, CHRRJ will also co-sponsor a hybrid talk with McMaster University’s new Centre for Research on Community Oriented Entrepreneurs (CRCE) in October 2023. The hybrid format for these events will allow researchers at all career stages from across Canada and beyond to attend and contribute to our discussions. Our recently established book series is another exciting development that reflects the intellectual energy and commitment of the Centre’s members and collaborators. Created in collaboration with McGill-Queens University Press, “Confronting Atrocity: Human Rights and Restorative Justice” would not exist without the vision and hard work of my two co-editors, Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh and Dr. Paul Ugor. The series’ first book - Truth Commissions and State Building – will be published in November 2023. Co-edited by Bonny Ibhawoh, Jasper Abembia Avelazuno and Sylvia Bawa, this volume consists of articles produced for a recent CHRRJ-sponsored conference. We expect that the series will provide an outlet for research projects undertaken at the Centre as well as external manuscripts that speak to the series’ themes. The faculty members, visiting scholars, and students affiliated with the Centre have accomplished a great deal to be proud of over the past months. Over the next year, we will build on their achievements by continuing to work together and strengthen our research collaborations in Canada and abroad. Colloquium on Narratives of Trauma and Memory: The Legacies of the Human Rights Violations Investigations Commission (The Oputa Panel) in Nigeria and National Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in Ghana Convenors: Dr. Rasheed Olaniyi University of Ibadan, Nigeria Colloquium Coordinator Dr. Olutayo Adesina University of Ibadan, Nigeria Colloquium Lead Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh McMaster University, Canada Project Director, The Confronting Atrocity (https://truthcommissions.humanities.mcmaster.ca) The one-day hybrid colloquium took place on August 2, 2023 - organized by the Department of History at the University of Ibadan (Nigeria), the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) and the Confronting Atrocity Project. It was virtually co-hosted by Sara Abdella, an RA at the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice, as well as Dr. Melike Yilmaz, a Research Coordinator at the Centre and in-person organizing committee Oyinade Adekunle, a member of the Centre. In addition to being organizing committee members for the colloquium, the Centre assisted with facilitating paper presentations and keynote addresses from the insightful panels in the hybrid event. The colloquium attained a significant milestone in exploring human rights violations and reconciliation in Nigeria and Ghana, serving as a forum for rigorous intellectual discourse and fostering cross-cultural understanding. The keynote speakers emphasized the significance of delving into narratives of trauma and memory to facilitate healing, justice, and national cohesion. They underscored how the legacies of commissions shape the socio-political landscape and set the stage for the day's discussions, emphasizing the urgency of addressing historical injustices and promoting reconciliation. The Colloquium featured thirty-eight presenters from twenty-seven institutions, comprising scholars, graduate students, lecturers, independent researchers, and experts devoted to unravelling the intricacies of African reconciliation processes. These paper presentations traversed various political eras in African communities, which created a rich tapestry of insights on the themes. Paper presentations were organized into three concurrent panel formats (one virtual panel and two in-person formats) and addressed different aspects of human rights, memory, and reconciliation. These sessions provided a platform for insightful and productive deliberations, giving voice to various narratives and experiences in Nigeria and Ghana. Attendees engaged in nuanced discussions, unveiling the challenges and successes of African reconciliation processes. A notable highlight was the seamless facilitation and tech support McMaster University and the University of Ibadan representatives provided. Their efforts ensured the smooth execution of the event, enabling the unhindered exchange of ideas and experiences among participants from different time zones. Over the course of eleven hours and numerous panel sessions, it became evident that the Colloquium had achieved its objective of shedding light on narratives of trauma and memory while fostering constructive dialogues on reconciliation. The outstanding quality of paper presentations sparked discussions regarding a journal publication of exceptional papers. ============================================================ Dr. Sascha Auerbach The Centre for Human rights and Restorative Justice has recently established a new hybrid speakers’ series, with support from McMaster University’s Office of the Vice-president and the Research Centre and Institutes Engagement Fund. Dr. Sascha Auerbach gave the first talk in the series on October 4, 2023, “‘To Go and Look for Law’: Late-stage Slavery and Encounters with the Colonial State in the British Empire, 1823-1831.” Dr. Auerbach specializes in the history of race, imperialism, and the state in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and is the director of the Institute for the Study of Slavery at the University of Nottingham (U.K.) as well as the co-editor of the Cambridge University Press book series “Histories of Slavery and Its Global Legacies.” He is the author of many articles and book chapters and three books. His most recent book will be published in 2024 by Cambridge University Press and is titled The Overseer-State: Slavery, Indenture, and Governance in the British Empire, 1812-1916. Dr. Auerbach’s talk was well-attended, and the audience members asked interesting and thought-provoking questions, resulting in a lively and fascinating discussion. The talk was a great start for our new speakers’ series. Truth Commissions and State Building Book Bonny Ibhawoh, Sylvia Bawa and Jasper Ayelazuno, eds. ** Truth Commissions and State Building (https://www.mqup.ca/truth-commissions-and-state-building-products-978022801…) (McGill Queens University Press, 2023). Truth Commissions and State Building presents the first comparative study of the role of Truth Commissions in state building. It examines truth commissions as mechanisms for civic inclusion, identity formation, institutional reform, and nation (re)building in post-conflict and post-authoritarian societies. More than just an opportunity to uncover fact after conflict, truth commissions can also offer restorative power to nations across the globe. This book emerged from a series of conferences organized by the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice. Chapters of the book draw on data from the Truth Commissions Report Database of the Confronting Atrocity Project which is housed in the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice. Hosting Visiting Scholar Between September 11th and September 22nd 2023, the Centre hosted a Visiting Scholar, Dr Maree Higgins, from UNSW Sydney (Australia). Dr Higgins is a social worker and a human rights scholar who convenes the BSW(Hons) Program at her home university. Her human rights research focuses on refugee inclusion, lived experience-led research, girls who go missing and resurface in the criminal justice system, and treatment and rehabilitation of people with disabilities and mental health disorders in places of detention. Dr Higgins visited McMaster University’s Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) while on sabbatical to understand the work of the Centre and engage with like-minded scholars. She has particularly focused on future human rights-based research and knowledge exchange activities. While at the CHRRJ, Dr. Higgins had stimulating meetings with the Centre Director Dr. Juanita De Barros, and the centre members. ALPHA ABEBE & KAREN BALCOM ** Dr. Alpha Abebe and Dr. Karen Balcom (https://dailynews.mcmaster.ca/articles/celebrating-excellence-in-teaching-a…) were the recipients of the 2023 President’s Awards for Outstanding contributions to Teaching and Learning, the highest distinction a faculty member at the university can receive for teaching excellence. Dr. Abebe’s students describe her teaching approach as nothing short of transformative, as her methods encourage them to challenge societal norms and harmful modes of thinking, especially concerning equity-seeking groups, empowering them to identify areas for personal growth, and fostering a classroom environment that embraces learning as a holistic approach. Dr. Balcom’s achievements as an educator was described as innovative, as she recognizes the importance of viewing each student as a unique individual and nurtured their personal development alongside their academic journey. Her commitment to teaching innovation is exemplified by groundbreaking initiatives, including the development of History's first archives-immersive experiential course, co-taught in collaboration with colleagues from the university archives. BENSON HONIG ** Dr. Benson Honig (https://www.degroote.mcmaster.ca/articles/mcmaster-researchers-awarded-over…) was awarded funding through the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund to expand a virtual entrepreneurial incubator that will help women, refugees, minorities, immigrants and persons with disabilities develop economic sustainability in the post-COVID era. The project focuses on building entrepreneurial capacity in marginalized refugee communities, reducing financial instability and improving access to support and resources for owners of small and micro businesses, who were significantly impacted during the pandemic. BONNY IBHAWOH We are pleased to share the latest newsletter of the ** Participedia Project (https://participedia.net/)   housed in the  ** McMaster Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (https://chrrj.humanities.mcmaster.ca/) . Under the directorship of Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh, SSHRC Partnership Grant-funded project has been actively mobilizing research knowledge to enhance democracy and public participation locally and globally. Particularly noteworthy is the role of Participedia in facilitating the recent public debates on the  ** Ontario Greenbelt (https://yourgreenbelt.ca/) BONNY IBHAWOH, MELIKE YILMAZ & ADEBISI ALADE For the last two years, Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh, Dr. Melike Yilmaz and Dr. Adebisi Alade have been working with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) to study transitional justice in the Lake Chad Basin region, which is recovering from a decade-long conflict and insurgency by Violent Extremist Organisations (VEOs). Dr. Ibhawoh presented the research reports and recommendations to the LCBC Governor’s Forum in N’Djamena, Chad, on 5-7 July 2023. This research exemplifies the complementarities between academic theory, grassroots practice, and policy-making in international human rights, development, and transitional justice work. Significantly, it provides a framework for victim-centered justice and  strategies for reconciliation, humanitarian aid, and long-term development efforts in the region. This October, they will present another aspect of that transitional justice  study  in Africa  during  a  workshop on children and childhoods  at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. CHANDRIMA CHAKRABORTY ** The Annual Mahatma Gandhi Lecture (https://dailynews.mcmaster.ca/articles/climate-change-refugee-expert-robert…) on Nonviolence and the Gandhi Peace Festival hosted by the Centre for Peace Studies and the Global Peace and Social Justice Program were held in the first week of October. Both of these long-running campus-community engagement events bring together McMaster faculty and students, local community organizations and peace activists to discuss an issue of significance to the local Hamilton community. This year’s topic was Climate Change Refugee Migration and the speaker was environmental scientist and former diplomat, Dr. Robert McLeman. INGRID WALDRON Dr. Ingrid Waldron’s organization the ENRICH Project received ** funding from the Sustainable Communities Challenge Fund (https://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20230911003) (Government of Nova Scotia) to lead a project on building capacity in African Nova Scotian communities around climate change preparedness. Dr. Waldron discussed her work on environmental racism with the ** Policy Options Podcast (https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/september-2023/inequality-environm…) . Dr. Waldron launched ** a new study (https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/communities/new-case-study-launche…) she is conducting with Dr. Juliet Daniel (Biology, McMaster), Dr. Paola Marignani (Medicine, Dalhousie) and others at a town hall on August 9 in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. The study, which is being funded by a new Frontiers -Exploration grant, is identifying the factors contributing to high cancer rates in the African Nova Scotian community in Shelburne. Dr. Waldron’s organization the ENRICH Project is partnering with the Youth Connection Association to conduct ** a project (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-environmental-racism-survey-…) that is engaging Black students in grades 5-9 in Windsor-Essex, Ontario to participate in focus groups to share their perspectives on how the school curriculum can better incorporate the experiences of environmental, climate and urban planning issues in Black communities in Windsor-Essex and Canada. This project is being funded by the Trottier Foundation. Dr. Waldron shared her thoughts about environmental racism with ** the Pointer (https://thepointer.com/article/2023-07-23/environmental-racism-comes-to-lig…) . Dr. Waldron’s ** 2020 study (https://www.halifaxexaminer.ca/health/nova-scotia-sisterhood-delivering-hea…) on Black women’s experiences with mental illness and help-seeking in the Halifax Regional Municipality led to the creation and recent launch of the Sisterhood Initiative, a new health service for Black women in the Halifax Regional Municipality. Dr. Waldron received a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant to conduct a study on climate change preparedness in black communities in the GTHA in partnership with the Coalition of Black Trade Unionist and the Toronto Environmental Alliance.

The ENRICH Project also received funding from Dragonfly and Lush to carry out environmental projects. JUANITA DE BARROS Dr. Juanita De Barros won an SSHRC Insight Grant in spring 2023 to for her project on “Historical Perspectives on Colonial Abortion Laws in the British Caribbean.” She is the Messecar Professor in the History Department for the 2023-24 academic year. SARA ABDELLA The Just Participation Podcast Team, with RAs Nadim Al-Nakhl and Zeynep Yilmaz, is working on a mini-series on decolonial knowledge production and practices of radical citation co-produced by Kanishka Sikri, PhD candidate at the University of Toronto. The mini series will explore radical citation with an emphasis on methods, emphasizing that how we talk about democratic subjects is just as important as what we talk about. The podcast is building a new framework that will transition their first season to their second season by navigating how researchers and practitioners have built their practices in their own lives. The next episode of the season coming up features the Demo.Reset project as they continue to engage the community and field requests for participation. ** Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/McMaster_CHRRJ) ** Website (https://chrrj.humanities.mcmaster.ca/) ** YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCino27IgrPwik2d8x7C1mjA/featured) ** Email (mailto:chrrj@mcmaster.ca) Copyright © 2023 Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice, All rights reserved.

Decision re CMHR CAHRI membership + CYHR calls
by Frederick John Packer 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, I trust this finds you well in these troubling (and busy) times. I am addressing you with regard to the following two matters: 1. Wrt the request from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights request to join CAHRI, I have received a handful of positive responses and no negative reactions to my suggestion that CMHR be offered a qualified membership of CAHRI (in the status of "Observer" or "Associate" without voting rights for CAHRI decisions). If I hear no definite negative reaction from CAHRI members by end of 31 October, I will convey to the CMHR a positive response to their request (as qualified - for which I understand they are entirely positively disposed). 1. Wrt the next issue of the Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (CYHR), Vol. IV (2022-2023, to be published summer 2024), we are still accepting unsolicited articles for the General Section (addressing any issue of human rights in or relating to Canada: https://www.uottawa.ca/research-innovation/hrrec/news/call-papers-canadian-… ) and we remain interested in unpublished documentation of broad significance (including original materials/official documentation or summaries of conferences etc.). Submissions and suggestions are welcome: CHRY(a)uOttawa.ca<mailto:CHRY@uOttawa.ca> Thanks for your attention!

Great and thanks! I would hope and expect that Volker is the best HC so far given his career experience in the UN and broad field work etc. which none others had in the same measure/character (well, Sergio & Bertie did... but all too short in office). If you have a question you'd like to ask the HC, please let me know ASAP. I am collecting some to prepare for him to address.

Re: Request from CMHR to join CAHRI
by Nandini Ramanujam, Prof. 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hello Frederick, Good to hear from you. Thanks for your message about the request from CMHR. I met with Matthew Cutler and other Museum folks in Winnipeg in Spring and soon after met Jeremy Maron in Montreal. I understood that CMHR is undergoing a process self-reflection and strategic planning. They are engaging in countrywide consultations with different stakeholders; one was held in Montreal. This is to say that they are clearly looking to engage with academic institutions and CAHRI could be great partner for them. I think CMHR could have an observer status but I do not see them as a member. They could be invited to attend meetings and could consult with individual member institutions on need basis. Thanks Best Nandini From: Frederick Packer <John.Packer(a)uottawa.ca> Date: Monday, August 21, 2023 at 6:12 PM To: "hr-research-centres(a)lists.umanitoba.ca" <hr-research-centres(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> Subject: [HR-rsch] Request from CMHR to join CAHRI Dear colleagues, I trust this finds you well and enjoying the summer period (hopefully far from wildfires, tornadoes, floods and other increasingly common hazards of our new climate crisis). I am addressing you having received a request from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (notably their Research Section and Library) to join CAHRI. I had the pleasure recently to discuss with them their motivations as well as the particular character of their institution as part of the federal Government (with, of course, some arms-length control). They would like to benefit from and contribute to our research and academic community and find ways to cooperate/collaborate to mutual benefit. We believe there exist opportunities in this regard. However, to preserve the full academic freedom of CAHRI members and our association, it has been agreed that the CMHR would join with some limitations to be set out in terms of an “Observer” or “Affiliate” membership (without voting privileges). I am addressing you now to solicit your views on this idea. Would you favour it or, if not, what are your concerns? I would be grateful to receive your reactions and any comments in the next couple weeks (before 8 September). Thanks in advance for your attention and response.

Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights - info and a question
by Frederick John Packer 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, I expect you'll read this on return to your desks following the summer and what in Ottawa at least is a lovely long weekend. Best wishes for the new academic year! I'm addressing you just to draw your attention to three elements of the next Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (Volume IV, 2022-2023, to be published in summer 2024): * The Call for submissions for the peer-reviewed General Section has been extended to 31 October 2023 : https://www.uottawa.ca/research-innovation/hrrec/news/call-papers-canadian-… These can address any issue of human rights in or relating (somehow) to Canada or Canada in the world. * If you have suggestions for important or difficult to find documentation arising to events/activities in the 2022-2023 period (i.e. inclusive the 24-month period), please let us know: chry(a)uottawa.ca<mailto:chry@uottawa.ca> * I am pleased to inform you that we will publish Special Sections addressing: 1) racial profiling in Quebec (arising from the Luamba decision [Luamba c. Procureur général du Québec, 2022 QCCS 3866, <https://canlii.ca/t/jsmj7>]) and, 2) freedom of movement and access to transportation for isolated (mainly indigenous) communities in Western Canada. But we have received an interesting proposal for a third Special Section which would engage CAHRI Member institutions to address Canada's human rights foreign policy and related engagements. Specifically, in the light of calls for (and already ongoing) re-thinking and proper FP elaboration together with institutional support, it is timely to feed ideas into prospective policy. To this end, there is a proposal for CAHRI to hold a consultation and share views, including by means of a compilation of inputs/suggestions as part of a CYHR Special Section. My question to you is: Would you (or someone from your institution) be interested to contribute/participate in a consultation (i.e. to identify and discuss core ideas and principal elements) and, if so, prospectively to contribute a short paper (3-4,000 word) for publication? I would be grateful to receive your responses by Monday, 11 September. Thanks in advance. Thanks for your consideration and response.

For Friday, Aug. 11 - Human Rights 101: Human Rights in Canada and Internationally
by Christina Szurlej 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

Dear CAHRI Members, I hope this finds you well! I’m writing as the lead on an edited volume titled Human Rights 101: Human Rights in Canada and Internationally, which will be published by Emond Publishing in February 2026. I’m seeking authors to contribute to contribute one or more chapters in the edited volume. As heads of your respective human rights institutes, I’m turning to you to ask whether you have faculty to recommend for me to approach for specific chapters, given your insight into their expertise. Enclosed is the table of contents for your interest. It would be greatly appreciated if you could please respond to me with any recommendations by Friday, August 11, 2023. As part of a larger project, I believe there is value in having a CAHRI directory of human rights experts from our institutes across Canada to which we would all have access to help foster similar opportunities for collaboration. I’m happy to take the lead on compiling this and ask the heads of human rights institutes to please complete the form below. You’re welcome to respond directly using that form or in a Word version enclosed for ease of reference / to streamline formatting if you prefer. Name of Research Institute Name of Researcher Researcher Title Areas of Expertise Kind thanks, Christina

Support for HRD in Canada, Noura Aljizawi
by Viviana Fernandez 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Message sent on behalf of prof. Nandini Ramanujam, Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, McGill University. Begin forwarded message: From: Camila Franco <camila.franco(a)citizenlab.ca<mailto:camila.franco@citizenlab.ca>> Subject: Support for HRD in Canada, Noura Aljizawi Dear Professor Ramanujam, I hope the summer months have been treating you and your loved ones well. I am writing to bring to your attention the case of Noura Aljizawi, a researcher and colleague of mine at the Citizen Lab<https://citizenlab.ca/>, who I imagine you might already know! My colleagues and I are trying to reach out to other academics, or people in the field of human rights who may be able to help amplify her case. In short, Noura is a human rights defender that has been flagged by Canadian authorities as a national security risk<https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/welcomed-by-canada-for-defying-a-dictator-syr…>, under s.34 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. She arrived in Canada in 2017 after having advocated against the Syrian regime, being imprisoned and enduring torture for her human rights activism. She arrived at the University of Toronto with the Scholar at Risk program<https://www.utoronto.ca/news/you-cannot-defeat-me-u-t-grad-noura-al-jizawi-…>, but now faces an uncertain future and risks being separated from her 5 year old daughter and husband. If you have any ideas or contacts that you would feel comfortable sharing with me to help amplify her cause, it would be deeply appreciated. The Citizen Lab is releasing a statement of support along with a press release later today or tomorrow morning. If you feel comfortable signing on to that statement, or sharing it with your colleagues, you can find it here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jnNRiYf5tWFt0K0wqkjgj85UhkKqnvtc2F8LnFg…>. Otherwise, I can point you to the site Justice For Noura<https://wpsn-canada.org/what-we-do/letter-campaigns/justice-for-noura-aljiz…> which has more information and specific calls to action. Thank you so much for your attention to this unique and unfortunate circumstance. Sincerely, Camila Franco (B.A., B.C.L./ J.D.)

CBA Constitutional & Human Rights Online Symposium tomorrow - MAID Panel 1pm ET, Noon CDT
by Pauline Tennent 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Tomorrow is the CBA Constitutional and Human Rights Law Online Symposium Presented by the CBA Constitutional and Human Rights Law Section<https://www.cba.org/Sections/Constitutional-and-Human-Rights> Tuesday, April 18, 2023 11:00 am - 4:30 pm (times listed in Eastern Time) Session 2: MAID, MAID MD-SUMC, and the Charter: Emerging Constitutional & Human Rights Issues * Twitter<https://twitter.com/CBA_News/status/1645763722017746944> * LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7051598308644933632/> In the eight years since the Carter v. Canada (Attorney General) decision, Canada’s medical assistance in dying (“MAID”) framework has evolved significantly. With the passage of Bill C-7, many Canadians with disabilities and organizations representing these communities have expressed concern about the expansion of MAID, arguing that the law violates substantive equality. Bill C-7 also extended MAID eligibility to include Canadians whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental disorder ("MAID MD-SUMC"), although implementation of this expanded eligibility will not occur until March 17, 2024. Concerns have been raised about Canadians who reportedly would not have sought access to MAID but for poverty, homelessness, or lack of supports. And UN experts have questioned whether Canada’s MAID framework is in compliance with Canada’s international human rights obligations under the Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities. On the other hand, arguments have been raised that existing restrictions on MAID violate the Charter rights of those seeking access to it, and that further expansions are needed. This timely panel will focus on unpacking some of the nuanced constitutional law and human rights concerns that continue to emerge surrounding MAID in Canada. Panelists will explore the following questions, among others: Has the Supreme Court’s decision in Carter been properly understood and implemented? Does Canada’s current MAID framework pass constitutional scrutiny, particularly under s. 7 and s. 15 of the Charter? How should contentious cases or compliance concerns be reviewed and addressed? How do professional and conscientious objections fit in Canada’s MAID framework? What are the government's obligations in relation to MAID, MAID MD-SUMC, providing healthcare supports and alternatives, and ensuring oversight of MAID cases? Speakers: Professor Kerri Froc, University of New Brunswick (Fredericton, NB) Professor Daphne Gilbert, University of Ottawa (Ottawa, ON) Professor Mary Shariff, University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, MB) Professor Jonas-Sébastien Beaudry, McGill University (Montréal, QC) Moderator: Garifalia Milousis, The Acacia Group (Ottawa, ON) -- Pauline Tennent, PhD (she/her/hers) Manager, Centre for Human Rights Research 442 Robson Hall University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB Canada R3T 2N2 [um_logo_email_signature] Tel: 204.474.6156 Pauline.Tennent(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Pauline.Tennent@umanitoba.ca> The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

Le Centre de recherche et d'enseignement sur les droits de la personne (CREDP) et la Coalition pour la liberté académique dans les Amériques (CLAA) sont heureux de présenter cet événement en ligne : Attaques contre la liberté académique aux États-Unis & leçons tirées de la Hongrie d'Orbán<https://www.uottawa.ca/recherche-innovation/credp/evenements/attaques-liber…> Selon l'indice de liberté académique (Academic Freedom Index - AFi), un outil développé conjointement par le Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi), la Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), le V-Dem Institute et Scholars at Risk (SAR), les pays du monde entier souffrent d'un recul du respect de la liberté académique. Ce recul inquiétant s'est produit aux États-Unis, où les législateurs des États ont cherché à restreindre le discours universitaire, notamment par le biais de lois qui interdisent aux établissements d'enseignement supérieur d'enseigner ou d'accueillir des discussions sur les « concepts qui sèment la discorde ». Ces lois soulèvent de sérieuses questions en matière de liberté académique et d'autonomie institutionnelle, notamment parce qu'elles interfèrent directement avec la conduite académique et qu'elles auront probablement un effet dissuasif sur l'élaboration des programmes d'études et les discussions en classe sur toute une série de sujets. Rejoignez-nous pour une discussion sur la manière de répondre aux attaques contre la liberté académique aux États-Unis et sur les leçons tirées d'autres contextes similaires, y compris la Hongrie de Viktor Orbán.

These concerning declines in respect for academic freedom have occurred in the United States, where state lawmakers have sought to restrict university discourse in part through legislation that restricts higher education institutions from teaching or hosting discussions of so-called "divisive concepts." Such laws raise serious academic freedom and institutional autonomy concerns, notably that they directly interfere in academic conduct and will likely have a severe chilling effect on curriculum development and classroom discussions on a range of topics. Join us for a discussion on responding to attacks on academic freedom in the United States, and for lessons learned from other, similar contexts, including Viktor Orbán's Hungary.

Visa Barrier stakeholder invitation
by Viviana Fernandez 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Dear colleagues, I am writing to inform you of an initiative called the Visa Barrier project, led by Professor Meredith Terretta, a member of our Centre and former Gordon F. Henderson Chair in Human Rights. The project was created because it is becoming more and more evident that a high rate of IRCC refusal of temporary residence and study permits to visa-required researchers threatens to undermine Canada's research achievements on the world stage. That African<https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/canada-s-temporary-visa-approval-rate…> researchers seem to be disproportionately affected by this visa barrier is even more troubling. The mobility of researchers is an important facet of knowledge mobilization, and the exclusion of African researchers from international forums like the International AIDS Society conference in Montreal exacerbates North-South asymmetries in global knowledge flows. The Visa Barrier<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvisabarri…> project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, studies how African researchers experience visa application processes by collecting anonymized data from visa-required African researchers and scholars invited to Canada. Over time, this data will reveal an approximate profile of those researchers to whom Canada denies right of entry, thus highlighting patterns related to income, gender, marital status, country of origin, race, Visa Application Centre, and so on. It will also highlight discrepancies in the items of "proof" that IRCC requires of applicants from country to country as well as the varying length of time it takes to process applications. These data will be used to inform the Canadian government and Canadian universities of challenges that visa-required African researchers face, providing an evidence-based argument for developing equitable immigration policies and university internationalization strategies to surmount the visa barrier. As you can see, the success of the Visa Barrier project depends on widespread involvement of stakeholders who regularly invite visa-required scholars and researchers to Canada. For this reason, we thought that this would be of interest to the CAHRI community. Interested people can become stakeholders by following this link<https://visabarrier.ca/public/pages/get-engaged.php> to enroll in the project. It takes about a minute for stakeholders to register to use the web application, after which they can regularly invite visa-required researchers by providing them with a unique, secure link to a one-time access survey of their visa application experience. The anonymized data* are sorted by category, allowing the research team to produce aggregate tables over time. For questions about the project, you can also reach Meredith Terretta, Principal Investigator visabarrier.ca [signature_3536106733] Thank you in advance for your cooperation and help in sharing this with others. Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A.

Genocide Studies International Special Issue | Call for Papers
by Pauline Tennent 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

For more information, see: https://www.utpjournals.press/journals/gsi/call-for-papers-special-issue-er… Genocide Studies International CALLS FOR PAPERS Special Issue: The Erasure and Revitalization of Indigenous Cultures and Languages The destruction of Indigenous languages, or linguicide, has had and continues to have catastrophic effects on Indigenous cultures, identities, knowledges, and the overall well-being of Indigenous peoples and communities. While there has been growing international commitment to raising awareness about and protecting Indigenous languages in recent years, research and publication on this subject remains limited. With this in mind, Genocide Studies International wishes to dedicate a special issue to the topic of Indigenous language erasure and revitalization with the objective of raising awareness around this issue from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. The editors seek submissions from scholars across disciplines that contextualize Indigenous language erasure as it relates to human rights, conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization. Manuscripts that explore gaps, challenges, and opportunities for action in protecting and revitalizing Indigenous languages are also welcomed. This special issue aims to bring together a collection of papers that capture a broad cross-section of concepts, experiences, stories, and issues pertaining to the theme so as to inform policy, action, and best practices on Indigenous language protection and revitalization across scales, and geographical and disciplinary boundaries. Paper submission deadlines (early submissions encouraged): September 1, 2023 Read More<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> General Call for Papers Genocide Studies International invites submissions of manuscripts focused on themes of genocide, human rights, crimes against humanity, and related mass atrocities. This peer-reviewed journal is dedicated to raising knowledge and awareness around these issues by providing a forum for the publication of original papers that take interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to critically analyze genocide and other forms of mass violence. Due to the constantly evolving and complex nature of genocide and related crimes, Genocide Studies International seeks manuscripts from across disciplines that contextualize these issues in relation to conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization. Manuscripts that explore challenges and prospects for the long-term prevention of genocide, as well as those that focus on global and regional threats to human security, especially as they relate to genocide, are also welcome. Read More<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> About G<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…>enocide Studies International In keeping with the objectives of the International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies, this journal is dedicated to raising knowledge and awareness among scholars, policy makers, and civil society actors by providing a forum for the critical analysis of genocide, human rights, crimes against humanity, and related mass atrocities. Genocide and other forms of mass violence are constantly evolving, and we encourage scholarly submissions that address their continually changing nature. This includes interdisciplinary and comparative work on the history, causes, impact, and aftermath of genocide and related crimes, as well as those which contextualize genocide in relation to conflict, exploitation, colonialism, racism, bigotry, sexism, oppression, and globalization. We also welcome submissions that explore the challenges and prospects for the long-term prevention of genocide, as well as those that focus on global and regional threats to human security, especially as they relate to genocide. Consequently, this peer-reviewed journal publishes articles from various disciplines including, but not limited to, history, political science, sociology, psychology, international law, criminal justice, critical race studies, religion, philosophy, literature, anthropology, forensic sciences, art history, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies. ‌ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> ‌ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> ‌ <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ix3rJws0Xqy2tkV3HJhjj4Ycbd3_4ZgEvghHtLkRVJc…> https://utpjournals.press/journals/gsi/call-for-papers-special-issue-erasur… Ekosani /Miigwech / Thank You, Lorena Sekwan Fontaine BA, LLB, LLM, PhD Associate Professor Human Rights Co-Director Indigenous Languages Global College University of Winnipeg 515 Portage Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3B 2E9 Email: l.fontaine(a)uwinnipeg.ca<mailto:l.fontaine@uwinnipeg.ca> Phone: 204.789.1428 Pronouns: she, her

Housing Discrimination and Human Rights | April 5th at 12noon
by Pauline Tennent 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

[cid:image003.png@01D958DE.4318C0E0]On Wednesday, April 5th at 12noon CDT, join the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba and the Canadian Centre for Housing Rights (CCHR) for a virtual webinar to learn about CCHR’s new discrimination audit report and engage with local advocates, community workers, and researchers in a discussion about housing discrimination in Winnipeg. About CCHR’s discrimination audit report: The Canadian Centre Housing Rights (CCHR) recently published a discrimination audit report called “Sorry, it’s rented.” Measuring Discrimination Against Newcomers in Toronto’s Rental Housing Market. The report examines the level of discrimination faced by newcomers in Toronto’s rental market, and how race, gender and parental status increases the likelihood of discrimination when searching for rental housing. The discrimination audit found that newcomers in Toronto face up to 11 times as much discrimination as non-newcomers when searching to secure rental housing. It also found that racialized newcomers experienced more discrimination compared to non-racialized newcomers when calling to inquire about a rental listing, and that certain family statuses compounded the experience of discrimination. Read the full report: https://housingrightscanada.com/reports/sorry-its-rented-2022/ The Centre for Human Rights Research and the Canadian Centre for Housing Rights welcomes: * Mary Burton, Fearless R2W * Azarias Butariho, New Journey Housing * Megan Earle, Canadian Centre for Housing Rights * Nancy Hansen, Disability Studie, University of Manitoba * Ryan McKay, Indigenous Input into Local Housing Project, Spence Neighbourhood Association Register now<https://bit.ly/3YekO7V> and submit your questions for the speakers!

It will be held from 3 to 7 July 2023, is destined to international students and will explore the theme "Mapping violences". Registration will be open from 1 February to 31 March 2023. The EHESS Summer School on Campus Condorcet Paris-Aubervilliers is meant to be an international event gathering all institutions present on this new European research campus in the humanities and social sciences. This EHESS initiative is, pedagogically and scientifically supervised by a committee of scholars from several member institutions located on the Campus. The theme of the 2023 edition: "Mapping violences" By crossing different disciplinary, thematic and cultural approaches, the aim is to endeavor to map violence, to study practices, situations, experiences of violence and their arrangement in topographic, social and mental spaces. The objective is to favour the dialogue between different perspectives of research on violence and more particularly on extreme violence. Be it political violence, state violence, wars, guerrilla wars, revolutions, oppression, massacres, and domestic violence, since it is often -in these contexts- amplified, will also be broached. How are we to observe, define and analyse these violent phenomena? What are the methodological, epistemological and ethical questions specific to these particularly sensitive and fluid objects? Apply to the EHESS Summer School<https://www.ehess.fr/fr/vie-l%C3%A9cole/call-applications-ehess-summer-scho…> Enrolment will be open from 1 February to 31 March 2023.

CHRRJ Winter 2023 Newsletter
by Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

Director's Message Dr. Juanita De Barros, February 2023 Welcome to the Winter 2023 edition of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) newsletter. CHRRJ provides a site where a multi-disciplinary group of scholars as well as policy makers, practitioners, and community leaders can explore human rights and restorative justice issues. In just a few short years, the faculty, students, and fellows affiliated with the Centre have accomplished a great deal, despite the challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In this newsletter, we acknowledge and celebrate their accomplishments over the past year. This work helps advance the important task of expanding our understanding of human rights’ issues, today and in the past. Dr. Juanita De Barros In this edition of the newsletter, we highlight the varied research activities and events undertaken over the last year by the researchers and collaborators affiliated with the Centre and which support and advance the CHRRJ’s mandate. As pandemic restrictions ease, we have been able to resume in-person events which have allowed for rich and exciting intellectual exchanges. The various techniques we developed in the early years of the pandemic, and which enabled us to communicate and meet virtually, remain useful. Notably hybrid events, such as the recent “Child Protection and the Rights of the Child” conference, provide important networking opportunities for researchers who are unable to travel to Hamilton, allowing them to share their research. Significantly, these techniques also offer opportunities for student involvement in research projects as the activities undertaken under the auspices of the Participedia project, which is housed at the Centre, demonstrates. These virtual and in-person exchanges benefit all of us. In the year ahead, we will have many opportunities to build on these accomplishments, by finding ways to engage students in our work as well as by maintaining and expanding our research networks and continuing to develop new and exciting research projects. Welcome Remarks by Dr. Martin Horn On January 27th and 28th 2023, we held a hybrid conference on “Child Protection and the Rights of the Child.” Supported by McMaster University’s Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), this conference brought together an international and multidisciplinary group of researchers to explore patterns and changes in discourses, policies, and practices in child saving, child protection, and the rights of the child. In-Person Attendees The conference was well-attended, with virtual and in-person attendance. It included six academic sessions that addressed a range of topics, including the experiences of children in conflict zones; child labour in the past and the present; the emergence and evolution of international children’s rights discourse; adoption and child migration; and children’s experiences in state institutions. Keynote Talk One of the conference highlights was the keynote talk by the Indigenous historian Dr. Crystal Fraser (Gwichyà Gwich'in/originally from Inuvik and Dachan Choo Gę̀hnjik, Northwest Territories), titled “Histories of Indian Residential Schooling: Approaches to Studying Institutionalized Indigenous Children during the Twentieth Century.” Research Assistants Sara Abdella - Nadim Al Nakhl - Zeynep Yilmaz - Valeria Flores - Oyinade Adekunle The conference also included a workshop led by the McMaster Children and Youth University (MCYU) which explored the MCYU community-campus model for co-creating knowledge. Research assistants working with the Participedia project at CHRRJ (and with the permission of the participants) interviewed some of the conference attendees with the goal of ensuring that these professional recordings will be made available to academics and members of the public. Participants Asking Questions The conference helped advance our understanding of changes and continuities in the treatment of children over time and the impact of international agreements and local policies focusing on children’s rights and the ways in which they interacted. The conference was supported by the Office for Community Engagement, the History Department, the Provost’s Office, the Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University, as well as by the CHRRJ. Panel 4: Children's Rights in Politics & Education Panelists Presenting Adebisi Alade Dr. Adebisi Alade, an associate member of the CHRRJ, has assumed a tenure-track position at the University of Victoria (http://uvic.ca) , British Columbia. Before joining UVic in July 2022, Dr. Alade was a Ph.D. candidate in the History Department at McMaster University under the supervision of Prof. Bonny Ibhawoh. His dissertation, “A Mission to Sanitize: Public Health, Colonial Authority, and African Agency in Western Nigeria, 1900-1945,” examines how subaltern resistance and politics shaped public health development in Africa. Using food hygiene and environmental sanitation as lenses to better understand how Africans engaged British disease control programs, his thesis deconstructs the colonial discourse of private and public hygiene in Africa. Dr. Alade accepted the position of Assistant Professor in UVic’s Department of History three months before defending his doctoral thesis in May 2022. At UVic, he teaches African History and the History of Medicine in the Colonial World. Dr. Alade currently chairs his Department’s Indigenous and Antiracist Initiatives Committee while representing the Faculty of Humanities on the Global Development Studies Program Committee. His publications have appeared in edited volumes and reputable journals, including the Journal of Social Development in Africa, Canadian Bulletin of Medical History, African Studies Quarterly, and the South African Journal of Cultural History. During his time at the CHRRJ, Dr. Alade was not only an active member of Participedia. He also coordinated Confronting Atrocity, a transnational project on truth commissions and restorative justice, including the 2019 international conference at the University of Ghana in Accra, Ghana. Alpha Abebe & Bonny Ibhawoh Centre members Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh and Dr. Alpha Abebe participated in a collaborative effort with a multi-disciplinary team to work on the McMaster African and Caribbean Leadership Exchange (MACLeads) program (https://dailynews.mcmaster.ca/articles/mcmaster-projects-offer-experiential…) . This project is designed to provide young, emerging leaders in Canada with experiential learning opportunities through placements with African or Caribbean partner institutions and organizations. MACLeads aims to enhance the education of undergraduate students and prioritize students who have historically faced barriers to participating in global exchange initiatives. Students will have opportunities to interact and learn from Black/racialized global leaders in post-secondary institutions, policy institutes and non-governmental organizations in countries such as Barbados and Ghana. Chandrima Chakraborty & Ingrid Waldron Dr. Chandrima Chakraborty and Dr. Ingrid Waldron received a Wilson Foundation, Future of Canada Grant, for their project, “COVID-19 in Racialized Communities in the Greater Toronto Area: Experiences and Conceptualizations of Loss.” (https://future-of-canada.mcmaster.ca/understanding-loss-and-grief-in-racial…) Jorge Fabra Zamora On September 2022, Dr. Jorge Fabra Zamora started his position as Associate Professor of Law at the University of Buffalo School of Law, State University of New York. He will be teaching torts, jurisprudence, and international human rights law. Prior to joining the law school, he was a Provost Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University. Juanita De Barros In 2022, one of Dr. De Barros' articles won the Andrés Ramos Mattei-Neville Hall Article Prize, 2022 (Association of Caribbean Historians) for the best article in Caribbean history: “The Death of Molly Schultz: Race, Magic and the Law in the Post-slavery Caribbean.” Journal of Social History (Winter 2021): 1-29. Oyinade Adekunle Oyinade Adekunle’s research interests included legal history, human rights and crime in Africa. Adekunle will conduct field research in the United Kingdom and Nigeria in the spring of 2023 on Capital Punishment in Colonial British West Africa. Currently, she is working on Casualties of War during the dispensation Armed Forces duties in African Continent. She received the Mildred Barrett Armstrong History Fund and the Richard Fuller Scholarships for History awards to aid research activities. Paul Ugor Dr. Paul Ugor is currently conducting research on a variety of topics related to African literature and film, African youth cultures, and black popular culture. His current projects include a monograph on the screen media output of Nigerian film director and TV producer, Femi Odugbemi, two edited volumes on the Postcolonial Bildungsroman (with Arnab Roy of Florida Gulf Coast University) and Narratives of Transitional Justice in World Literatures (With Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh). Sara Abdella The Just Participation Podcast (https://linktr.ee/justparticipation) , is a global-student-led podcast produced by Participedia RA’s Sara Abdella, Zeynep Yilmaz, and Nadim Al Nakhl. The podcast uses reflexive methodologies that mindfully confront biases to explore the stories of diverse research and practitioner experiences from within the Participedia community. To avoid echoing similar interests and perspectives, each episode invites participants to work from different practitioner and scholarly approaches to unite on a common topic. In its first season, the podcast has collaborated with professors from around the world discovering research on “Democracy & Technology (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVu0rykKy7k) ”, unravelling indigenous sovereignty and the tensions and challenges of designing an inclusive knowledge-sharing platform based on feminist co-design principles, “Best-Interest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X96ChJA6i4k) Decision-Making”, decisions made on behalf of those who lack representation in decision-making processes through the examples of children, animals, and marginalized indigenous communities, and “Democratic Legitimacy and Silence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf8lV2hLKRI) ”, analyzing the theory of silent citizenship as applicable to political legitimacy and trust, focusing on Britain from the Global North along with Uganda, Malawi, and Sri Lanka from the Global South. In Winter 2023, the Podcast is further exploring issues regarding human rights as well as undiscovered areas of research with collaboration from Dr. Paola Ardilles Gamboa, a senior lecturer and advisor at Simon Fraser University, Syrus Marcus, a social justice activist and associate with McMaster, and Dr. Aytak Akbari Dibavar, a decolonial feminist educator at the University of Toronto Scarborough, on an episode exploring “Art-Spaced Social Justice Work & Decolonization”. It is followed by a Participedia Democracy Across Borders Episode highlighting “Global Assemblies” through the work of Mission Publiques and I4Policy. The podcast is expanding its scope to include non-traditional ways of democratic pedagogy and exploring not only the works of educators and scholars but practitioners who have advanced citizen participation globally.

INVITATION -- 28.02.2023 @ 11:30 -- Le droit des enfants à l'éducation en temps de pandémie | Children's right to education during a pandemic
by Viviana Fernandez 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

English follows. Le Laboratoire de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les droits de l’enfant (LRIDE) et la Faculté de droit, Section de droit civil de l’Université d’Ottawa sont heureux de vous inviter à cet événement hybride dans le cadre du Cycle de conférences de la Section de droit civil : Le droit des enfants à l'éducation en temps de pandémie<https://www.uottawa.ca/faculte-droit/droit-civil/lride/evenements/droit-enf…> La pandémie COVID-19 a changé nos vies pendant les trois dernières années. Alors que les secteurs de la santé et du travail ont retenu beaucoup l’attention des médias, relativement peu a été dit au sujet de l’éducation. Pourtant, les enfants ont été très touchés par la crise sanitaire. Les écoles ont été fermées pendant de longues périodes et le contenu de l’éducation a été réduit au strict minimum. Les enfants ont souffert de retards dans leur apprentissage, mais aussi d’autres problèmes liés à un suivi régulier dans le contexte scolaire. Peut-on dire que leur droit à l’éducation a été respecté? La conférence discutera des défis de la mise en œuvre du droit à l’éducation en temps de pandémie et de leçons à tirer pour l’avenir. Le droit à l’éducation est un droit clé pour les enfants, puisqu’il s’agit d’un droit fondamental qui est lié à l’exercice d’autres droits de la personne, notamment le droit de l’enfant au développement, le droit d’être protégé contre la violence, de droit de participer à la culture, les droits linguistiques des minorités, et le droit d’avoir accès à un soutien social. Mardi le 28 février 2023 11 h 30 – 13 h Événement bilingue en ligne sur Zoom & en personne au Pavillon FAUTEUX. INSCRIPTION OBLIGATOIRE que vous participiez en personne ou en ligne. ________________________________ The Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child (IRLRC) and the Faculty of Law, Civil Law Section at the University of Ottawa are pleased to invite you to this hybrid event as part of the Civil Law Section Lecture Series: Children's right to education during a pandemic<https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-law/civil-law/irlrc/events/children-right-ed…> The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives for the past three years. While the health and labor sectors have received much media attention, relatively little has been said about education. Yet children have been greatly affected by the health crisis. Schools were closed for long periods of time and educational content was reduced to a bare minimum. Children suffered from delays in their learning, but also from other problems related to regular follow-up in the school context. Can we say that their right to education has been respected? The conference will discuss the challenges of implementing the right to education in times of pandemic and lessons for the future. The right to education is a key right for children, as it is a fundamental right that is linked to the enjoyment of other human rights, including the child's right to development, the right to be protected from violence, the right to participate in culture, minority language rights, and the right to access social support. Tuesday, February 28, 2023 11:30 am – 1:00 pm Bilingual event online on Zoom & in person at the FAUTEUX Hall. REGISTRATION REQUIRED whether you participate in person or online. ____________________ Laboratoire de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les droits de l’enfant (LRIDE) | Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child (IRLRC) Université d’Ottawa | University of Ottawa LRIDE(a)uOttawa.ca<mailto:LRIDE@uOttawa.ca>

by Pauline Tennent 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

The Centre for Human Rights Research (CHRR) at the University of Manitoba is pleased to announce its annual Critical Conversations series. This year, the three-part series will focus on Borders and Human Rights. For our first talk on Friday, February 17th at 2pm CST, CHRR is thrilled to have Harsha Walia and Dr. Alex Wilson join us to explore issues relating to borders, colonialism, sovereignty, human rights, and resistance. Harsha Walia is a Panjabi writer and organizer based in Vancouver, Coast Salish territories and rooted in migrant justice, anti racist, feminist, abolitionist, anti-imperialist, and anticapitalist movements and communities for over two decades. She is also the author of Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism (2021) and Undoing Border Imperialism (2013), and co-author of "Never Home: Legislating Discrimination in Canadian Immigration", as well as "Red Women Rising: Indigenous Women Survivors in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside." Dr. Alex Wilson (Opaskwayak Cree Nation) is professor in the Department of Educational Foundations at the University of Saskatchewan. Her scholarship has greatly contributed to building and sharing knowledge about land-based education; Two-Spirit People; Indigenous research methodologies; and anti-oppressive education. Her research and "coming in" theory has led to classroom and community practices that honour the contributions and lives of Two-Spirit People. As an Idle No More organizer and as coordinator of an Indigenous land-based Master's program, she focuses on the prevention of violence in the lives of Indigenous peoples and the protection of land and water.

Data Colonialism Revisited: The Violent Side of the Politics of Information, Marco Antônio Sousa Alves
by Centre for Human Rights Research Manager 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

[A picture containing background pattern Description automatically generated] TOPIC: Data Colonialism Revisited: The Violent Side of the Politics of Information Despite producing inequalities and posing risks to democracy and fundamental rights, the contemporary politics of information is usually seen as non-violent. We often consider current surveillance practices in post-panoptic terms and the emerging new power regime, in contrast to the totalitarianism of the early 20th century, as a soft power, that is, a supposedly harmless, efficient, and simple politics that does not touch, does not force, and is based on data, acting in real-time. I believe that this has been the dimension emphasized by a large part of the thinkers of our time (for example, Shoshana Zuboff when dealing with instrumentarian power, David Lyon when analyzing the surveillance culture, Bernard Harcourt when describing the new expository society, Thomas Berns when reflecting on the new government of relations, Byung-Chul Han when presenting psychopolitics, or Nick Couldry and Ulises Mejias when addressing the new data colonialism). In short, it is argued that power tends to function in contemporary times in a non-imposing way, without the need to say no, without explicit prohibitions, employing a more insidious governing strategy, which shapes environments and directs our behaviors in ways we are unable to perceive or resist. I believe it is essential to look more closely at the overtly repressive or negative dimension of the contemporary mode of power operation. I would like to direct my attention to the marginal experiences, on the other side of data colonialism. So I understand that an authoritarian drift is strongly felt in the Global South, where a colonial logic is reactivated, dehumanizing those who are deviant or unproductive.

Fall 2022 Newsletter of the Centre of Human Rights and Restorative Justice
by Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/02d1bc30e43a/fall-2022-newsletter-of-the-centre-of-human…) Director's Message Dr. Juanita De Barros, November 2022 Welcome to the Fall 2022 edition of the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ) newsletter. In this edition, we will focus on the Centre’s recent activities (notably the recent and upcoming conferences). The Winter 2023 newsletter will focus on the members’ news. I would first like to thank our former director, Dr. Bonny Ibhawoh, for his vision and hard work in establishing the Centre. His efforts and the commitment of the CHRRJ’s members have helped the Centre become a vital part of McMaster University’s research landscape in only a few short years, and during a period when we faced the challenges posed by COVID-19. Bonny has taken up new responsibilities as the VP International, but he remains a crucial and valued member of the CHRRJ team. I have been involved with CHRRJ since its inception, and I am thrilled and honoured to be named as the new director. I already know most of the CHRRJ members, but for those of you who do not know me, I would like to briefly introduce myself. I am a professor in the Department of History and the former president of the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. I am affiliated with two research centres that focus on the Caribbean (my main research area) and the African diaspora: the Centre for Research on Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CERLAC) and the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research in Africa and its Diasporas, both at York University. My current research focuses on the intersection between health and the law, notably in the realms of child incarceration in the 19th and early 20th century British Caribbean and (in a new project) reproductive rights. As the new director of the CHRRJ, I see my role as helping to sustain, enhance, and expand the Centre’s crucial work in studying human rights and restorative justice and mobilizing the knowledge that emerges from these endeavours. I envision the Centre as continuing to play an important role in supporting members’ research and in mentoring students. I also see CHRRJ as a place that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration; I plan to help sustain current initiatives while actively exploring future collaborative and networking opportunities. Finally, and most significantly, I will also work with CHRRJ members to help us realize our goals of ensuring equity, diversity, and inclusivity. Over the past year, and despite the challenges presented by COVD-19, the Centre has supported important work that advances our understanding of current human rights’ issues. This includes the recent (and very successful) conference on “Truth Commissions: Issues of Access and Ownership” and the upcoming conference on “Child Protection and the Rights of the Child.” In the next year, we will have many opportunities to continue this excellent work. The Truth Commissions: Issues of Access and Ownership Conference was held virtually via Zoom on October 24th and 25th, with over 110 registrants. The conference saw scholars, policymakers, and civil society stakeholders from all over the world come together to examine access to and ownership of Truth Commissions’ documentation, as well as to investigate obstacles that prevented the implementation of information infrastructures that should promote access and address issues of ownership of the Truth Commission’s documentation. The conference was organized and convened by McMaster University, The Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, the Social Science Research Council’s African Peacebuilding Network Program, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation. The two-day conference had 6 panels in total. Each day had three panels, each with its own theme, for a total of 21 papers presented by 28 panellists. The conference accompanied two Keynote Addresses, one for each day, which were open to the public. The first address, titled “Violation of a Truth Commission,” was by Verne Harris, the head of the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s leadership and knowledge development process. The second address, titled “Truth Commission Archives,” was given by Veronica Torras, the Executive Director of Memoria Abierta, and Celina Flores, who coordinates the documentary heritage area of Memoria Abierta. The second address saw the use of two simultaneous Spanish interpreters, as both addresses were from Argentina. Both Keynote Addresses were recorded and published on the Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCino27IgrPwik2d8x7C1mjA/featured) for public viewing. From January 26-28, 2023, we will be holding a hybrid conference on “Child Protection and the Rights of the Child.” In collaboration with McMaster University’s Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), this conference brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of senior academics, emerging scholars, and students to explore patterns and changes in discourses, policies, and practices in child saving, child protection, and the rights of the child. The conference will include six academic sessions, one curriculum workshop, and several public events. The academic sessions will include senior and emerging scholars and will address topics such as the experiences of children in conflict zones; child labour in the past and today in places such as Iran and Ghana; the emergence and evolution of international children’s rights discourse; adoption and child migration; and children’s experiences in state institutions in Kenya, Poland, Jamaica, and Guyana; forced child removal (including to Indian Residential Schools); international children’s rights discourse. By addressing these topics, the conference promises to advance our understanding of changes and continuities in the treatment of children over time and the impact of international agreements and local policies focusing on children’s rights and the ways in which they interacted. The conference will also have several events that will be open to the public. This includes a keynote talk by the Indigenous historian Crystal Fraser (Gwichyà Gwich'in/originally from Inuvik and Dachan Choo Gę̀hnjik, Northwest Territories). The conference will also include a community panel featuring Hamilton-based youth activists who are fighting for justice and equality. It will include a session led by McMaster Children and Youth University (MCYU) in which children will interact with the conference attendees and discuss their views about children’s rights. This event will be followed by a workshop sharing the MCYU community-campus model for co-creating knowledge. With the assistance of the Participedia project at CHRRJ (and permission of the participants), these events will be professionally recorded, and the recordings made available to academics and members of the public. Along with CHRRJ, the conference is also being supported by the Office for Community Engagement, the History Department, the Provost’s Office, and the Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University. For Registration: CHRRJ Conference on childrights2023.com On June 9-10, 2022, over sixty Participedia community members gathered at McMaster University for the first hybrid Partners Conference of Participedia Phase 2. Student Research Assistants worked alongside experienced academics and practitioners to present and workshop the outcomes of one year of international, multidisciplinary co-design. As a hybrid event, supported in collaboration with CHRRJ, participants were able to meet in-person – many for the first time – and connect online from Africa, Latin America, North America, Asia, and Europe. This year’s meeting theme was ‘Democracy in Times of Crises’. We wanted to reflect as a community on the tensions and challenges democracy is facing, as well as the innovations and responding strategies of democratic resurgence. Particpedia Group Photo In our individual cluster meetings and plenary sessions, generative conversations and research-knowledge mobilization agendas were being shared, developed, and refined. We heard from the Teaching, Training and Mentoring Committee on the early success of the Teaching Café’s, Global Classroom, and upcoming Summer School initiatives. Led by the Research Committee, we also reflected as a group on the importance of pursuing an update of the existing data model to reflect new research domains and innovations on the ground. Our keynote public event with Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware on Day 1 and a public panel on Day 2, brought together activist-artist scholars, students, researchers and interested community members from the Hamilton community and surrounding areas, to reflect on potential democratic futures and the state of democracy today. Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware's Keynote Address We further heard from student researchers and leads from research clusters who presented early findings, signature projects, challenges, and successes, as well as upcoming plans to operationalize these objectives. We also had the opportunity to engage with the student-led Communications, Editing and Podcast Teams throughout the two-day event. As Participedia Phase 2 enters its second year of co-designing collaborative research projects, our participating members are actively disseminating knowledge about their work. Conferences and events are just one way that the Participedia community is mobilizing knowledge on democratic innovations. Participedia Conference's Opening Remarks Participedia welcomes further collaboration from CHRRJ community members. Please contact info(a)participedia.net (mailto:info@participedia.net) if you would like to discuss ways you could participate in Participedia.

Les recommandations de la Commission ont mené à des modifications à la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse en 2022 pour s’assurer que l’enfant soit véritablement au cœur des décisions prises. Mais l’enfant est-il aussi au cœur des procédures? Est-ce que sa voix est entendue? Comment fait-on pour s’assurer que l’enfant puisse participer de manière à respecter son intérêt et ses droits? Des acteurs de la protection de la jeunesse discuteront des bonnes pratiques et des défis en matière de participation des enfants aux procédures de protection de la jeunesse. Cet événement sera aussi l’occasion de lancer une visio formation portant sur ce sujet et publiée par Jurivision<https://jurivision.ca/>.

The Commission's recommendations led to amendments to the Youth Protection Act in 2022 to ensure that the child is truly at the heart of the decisions made. But is the child also at the heart of the proceedings? Are their voices being heard? How do we ensure that the child can participate in a way that respects his or her interests and rights? Youth protection actors will discuss good practices and challenges in child participation in youth protection proceedings. This event will also be the occasion to launch a videotraining on this topic published by Jurivision<https://jurivision.ca/?lang=en>.

Les recommandations de la Commission ont mené à des modifications à la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse en 2022 pour s’assurer que l’enfant soit véritablement au cœur des décisions prises. Mais l’enfant est-il aussi au cœur des procédures? Est-ce que sa voix est entendue? Comment fait-on pour s’assurer que l’enfant puisse participer de manière à respecter son intérêt et ses droits? Des acteurs de la protection de la jeunesse discuteront des bonnes pratiques et des défis en matière de participation des enfants aux procédures de protection de la jeunesse. Cet événement sera aussi l’occasion de lancer une visio formation portant sur ce sujet et publiée par Jurivision<https://jurivision.ca/>.

The Commission's recommendations led to amendments to the Youth Protection Act in 2022 to ensure that the child is truly at the heart of the decisions made. But is the child also at the heart of the proceedings? Are their voices being heard? How do we ensure that the child can participate in a way that respects his or her interests and rights? Youth protection actors will discuss good practices and challenges in child participation in youth protection proceedings. This event will also be the occasion to launch a videotraining on this topic published by Jurivision<https://jurivision.ca/?lang=en>.

A message from CHRR Director Dr. Adele Perry on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
by Centre for Human Rights Research Manager 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

Centre for Human Rights Research marks the second National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Adele Perry<https://chrr.info/blog/author/perrya/> | September 29, 2022 One of the Centre for Human Rights Research (CHRR) areas of focus is Indigenous peoples and human rights<https://chrr.info/chrr-themes/indigenous-peoples-human-rights/>. As we approach Canada's second official National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Friday, September 30th, 2022, how do we understand and engage with the shifting and contested conversation about residential schools and its meaning for Canada's past and present? More important, how can we, as a university-based research centre support engaged, ethical research on Canadian colonialism, and work to communicate it to the public? The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was created by an act of parliament passed in 2021<https://parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/43-2/bill/C-5/royal-assent>, following renewed public attention to the history and ongoing impact of the Indian Residential School System. In May of that year, Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that research with ground penetrating radar found 215 possible unmarked graves near the former Kamloops residential school. The months that followed were punctuated by more solemn announcements from First Nations across western Canada about unmarked graves, including an estimated 751 potential unmarked graves of both children and adults near the Marieval Indian Residential School on Cowessess First Nation in southern Saskatchewan.[1]<https://chrr.info/blog/centre-for-human-rights-research-marks-the-second-na…> These findings were hardly news to many First Nations whose oral histories had long spoken of widespread undocumented deaths at residential schools. These announcements were also not much a surprise to those who had read the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released in 2015 - an entire 255-page volume was devoted to the subject of "Missing Children and Unmarked Burials."<https://collections.irshdc.ubc.ca/index.php/Detail/objects/8788> But the revelations of 2021 still prompted a widespread renewal of attention to Canada's colonial history in general, and to the history of residential schools in particular. Eva Jewell and Ian Mosby note that in a context of widespread failure to meaningfully enact the Calls to Action, Canada completed three Calls to Action, all in the month of June. This included creating the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.[2]<https://chrr.info/blog/centre-for-human-rights-research-marks-the-second-na…> The creation of a holiday responded to Call to Action 80, which asked Canada to establish a day to "honour Survivors, their families, and communities, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process."<https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/national-day-truth-rec…> In practice, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation has revealed persisting limitations to Canada's commitment to addressing the harms that residential schools have done. The prime minister's decision to take a surfing holiday on the first National Day confirmed the suspicions of those who doubted the substance of his commitments to reconciliation and Indigenous people. The response of provincial and territorial governments, who regulate the vast majority of Canadian workers, was mixed in 2021, and it is perhaps even more mixed in 2022. So far, only PEI, New Brunswick and the Northwest Territories recognize the day as a statutory holiday. Indigenous Studies professor and CHRR Research Affiliate Niigaan Sinclair explains that the response to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation has been "uneven, confusing and indecisive,"<https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2022/09/16/reconciliation-is…> particularly in comparison to the quick action honouring the Queen's death. [Book cover for Lessons in Legitimacy by Dr. Sean Carleton]<https://chrr.info/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Lessons-in-Legitimacy.jpg>As governments waffle about 30 September, what CHRR Research Affiliate and historian Sean Carleton calls 'residential school denialism' circulates online, in print, and in conversations. Arguments that deny the corrosive impact of residential schools in favour of a flattering story about the schools and Canada are hardly new. But these arguments have taken on a new tenor in the last year. Daniel Heath Justice and Carleton identify some of the core shaky claims that residential school denialists make<https://theconversation.com/truth-before-reconciliation-8-ways-to-identify-…>: that international legal definitions of genocide do not apply to Canada, that residential schools are comparable to boarding schools in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, that Indigenous children learned valuable and transferable skills in residential schools, that school officials and architects had good intentions, that residential school students learned valuable skills, that there were positive student experiences, that residential schools were in keeping with the times, and that Indigenous people must express their experience in specific ways if they are to be included in mainstream conversations.[3]<https://chrr.info/blog/centre-for-human-rights-research-marks-the-second-na…> What is at stake in these arguments is not simply how we understand histories of residential schools, but it is also about how we understand Canada's past and present of colonialism. In the last year, the blow-back has increasingly focused on the specific terrain of unmarked graves. In both niche publications and mainstream media, authors have raised alarm about both the evidence and how it is being interpreted.[4]<https://chrr.info/blog/centre-for-human-rights-research-marks-the-second-na…> In response, University of Alberta archaeologist Kisha Supernant and Carleton explain that "Residential schools are not fake news," but rather a long, carefully documented story of dispossession, destruction, and enduring loss.[5]<https://chrr.info/blog/centre-for-human-rights-research-marks-the-second-na…> The CHRR takes seriously the need to investigate and explore that difficult history of dispossession, destruction, and loss, and to do so in ways that make this ethical research and thinking available to as wide a public as possible. There are events and programming exploring the history of residential schools across Canada this week. One of these is a day of programming<https://www.wag.ca/event/national-day-for-truth-and-reconciliation-2/> in which we are collaborating, hosted by National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) and the Winnipeg Art Gallery. This will include screening of Truth & Reconciliation Week program episodes as well as the NCTR's national broadcast Remember the Children. At 1:15, you can learn about Carleton's new monograph, Lessons in Legitimacy: Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia (UBC Press, 2022). Public discussions will follow exploring "Language Revitalization, Intergenerational Learning and Reconciliation" with Pat Nadeau, Maeengan Linklater, and Aandeg Muldrew; and "How to be a Good Ally" with Erin Millions and Carleton. Family friendly craft areas will also be set up throughout the day. The day's events at the WAG are one of the many events being held across Canada on the 30th, and a reminder of the importance of people and organizations continuing to do the work<https://chrr.info/blog/doing-the-work-what-settlers-need-to-know-about-the-…>, even when governments drop the ball or lose interest. It is also a reminder of the importance of research, and communicating that research well and broadly, to change the conversation about Canada's ongoing history of colonialism, and the role that residential schools have played within it. -- [1]<https://chrr.info/blog/centre-for-human-rights-research-marks-the-second-na…> For an accounting as of September 2021, see: Rachel Gilmour, "Mapping the missing: Former residential school sites in Canada and the search for unmarked graves," 15 September 2021, Global News, https://globalnews.ca/news/8074453/indigenous-residential-schools-canada-gr….

The Government of Canada has established the CRC program to enable Canadian universities to foster world-class research excellence. The proposed CRC aligns with the University's strategic research plan that identifies Sustainable Systems for Resilient Communities as a research theme and the Human Rights and Social Justice Theme. The successful candidates will become a member of the Department of Environment and Geography, (http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/environment/departments/geography/index.html) in the Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources. Responsibilities : The research contributions of the proposed CRC in Just Transformations will focus on understanding the conflicts that are embedded within social transition and transformations based on resource use and environmental change. The candidate will be expected to teach two courses in their area of research and attract graduate students to the program. Service will be required both within the University and through various professional and public organizations linked to the candidate's area of expertise. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a research program that addresses the current gaps in political ecology with respect to sustainable solutions, especially around Indigenous peoples and other equity-deserving groups, and Canadian urban and/or rural development. Of relevance would be work that engages societal needs in the areas of human-environment relations with a strong emphasis on justice, power and/or inequity. Qualifications : The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. and proven success in leading an independently organized research program related to inequity, the legacies of colonialism, Indigenous studies, race/racism, urban and environmental governance, and/or the politics of sustainability. Ability to achieve research excellence and external funding in the areas of environmental justice, political ecology and social-ecological transformations is required. Experience in teaching and mentoring graduate students, research associates and/or undergraduate students is expected. Demonstrated teaching excellence at the undergraduate and graduate levels will be an asset. Outstanding applicants with internationally recognized expertise in the broad fields, as outlined above, are encouraged to apply. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. A Tier 2 CRC Nomination will be submitted soon after a successful candidate has been selected. Chairs are awarded by the Tri-agency Institutional Programs Secretariat after a rigorous evaluation, and award decisions are expected in the spring 2023. The appointment will be conditional on a successful Canada Research Chair nomination. Applicants must be exceptional emerging scholars with less than 10 years of experience as an active researcher since obtaining their terminal degree at the time of nomination. Tier 2 Chairs are valued at $100,000 per year for 5 years with an option to renew once. Applicants who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, such as maternity, parental or extended sick leave, clinical training, etc.) will have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair assessed through the program's Tier 2 justification process. Please contact the UM's Office of Research Services (researchgrants(a)umanitoba.ca) office for more information. The University acknowledges the potential impact that Career Interruptions and Personal Circumstances can have on an applicant's record of research achievement. We encourage applicants to explain the impact of any such interruption(s) in their submission. Measures will be taken to ensure that these leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the evaluation process. The CRC Nomination Selection Committee will receive equity training that includes instruction on how to recognize and combat unconscious, implicit, overt, prejudicial and other kinds of bias. The Canada Research Chairs website also provides full program information including details on eligibility criteria at: www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/nomination-mise_en_candidature-e… Additional Information : The University of Manitoba is committed to the principles of equity, diversity & inclusion and to promoting opportunities in hiring, promotion and tenure (where applicable) for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous Peoples, women, racialized persons, persons with disabilities and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities).

As the summer months are here and the Centre for Human Rights Research has some important updates to share with you – all of which can be found on our website<https://chrr.info/> 1) The CHRR will be focusing on a new theme exploring the intersections of human rights and borders. “Questioning Borders?”<https://chrr.info/chrr-themes/borders/> by lead author Sara Gibson, an MHR student and CHRR research assistant, unpacks a critical understanding of borders beyond the nation state. We hope this theme will help guide us in future work including Critical Conversations, guest lectures and research opportunities and collaborations. Please note an extensive list of references and resources that can be downloaded found at the bottom of the page. 2) Carlie Kane, a student at Robson Hall and the Indigenous Summer Intern with the CHRR, has compiled an extensive timeline for Aboriginal Law. This resource<https://chrr.info/other-resources/aboriginal-law-resources/>, starting pre-contact and reaching up to the present includes detailed legal and historical information and also includes a rich list of resources and references 3) On July 13, 2022 the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba hosted an informative, webinar roundtable discussion “Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022.” This discussion brought together a variety of scholars and advocates – and those who identify as both – including Karen Sharma, Nahanni Fontaine, Kemlin Nembhard, Dr. Sarah Elvins, and Dr. Lindsay Larios. The video of the roundtable<https://chrr.info/past-events/> as well as an indepth list of resources on reproductive health, justice and advocacy<https://chrr.info/other-resources/reproductive-rights-resources/> compiled by Cassie Dong, a CHRR research assistant and incoming PhD student in Peace and Conflict Studies, is posted under “past events” on our website We invite you all to explore and share these resources on our website and to offer any feedback for how you may use them as well as suggestions for how to make it more comprehensive and useful.

FIGHTING FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN 2022 - JULY 13TH - VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE - NOON-1PM CT
by Shayna Plaut 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

On July 13th from noon-1pm CT, the Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba is hosting an informative, webinar roundtable discussion "Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022." Bringing together a variety of scholars and advocates – and those who identify as both: Karen Sharma, Nahanni Fontaine, Kemlin Nembhard, Dr. Sarah Elvins, Dr. Lindsay Larios, we aim to provide context, information and solidarity as we move forward. PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE WEBINAR AT: http://bit.ly/3P2pp9e [https://us06st3.zoom.us/static/6.1.7243/image/thumb.png]<http://bit.ly/3P2pp9e> Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.<http://bit.ly/3P2pp9e> Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Fighting for Reproductive Rights in 2022. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. bit.ly [cid:b5b84383-06e8-464e-b988-37f3c20c379f] The overturning of Roe V Wade by the Supreme Court of the United States is shocking and will have long term consequences. It also seems to be just the beginning of a movement to once again legitimate control – through law -- over the lives and bodies of women and girls, especially those without the means to travel. Of course, this is not new. According to international law, reproductive rights means the right to choose the number and spacing of your children. Forced and coerced sterilization of Indigenous women, lack of access to abortions (medical and surgical) outside of urban areas and ongoing systemic racism in the health care system and institutions shows that Canada is no utopia for reproductive rights. We are also well aware that other rights, especially those of the LGBTQ+ community, are coming under the crosshairs. Although the decision took place in US courts, we all know that the ripple effects will be felt across borders, including for those of located north of the 49th parallel.

Authorized for service in Nova Scotia, its recruitment efforts later stretched across the country. Approximately 780 people served with the No. 2 Construction Battalion, which operated in Canada, England and France. Those soldiers carried out crucial work in support of operations on the Western Front, including the movement of supplies and the repair of roads and railroads. They did much of this work within the dangerous range of the fighting and at great personal risk.

Environ 780 personnes ont servi dans le 2e Bataillon de construction, qui a opéré au Canada, en Angleterre et en France. Ces soldats ont effectué des travaux essentiels à l’appui des opérations sur le front occidental, notamment le transport de fournitures et la réparation de routes et de chemins de fer. Ils ont effectué une grande partie de ce travail dans le périmètre dangereux des combats et au prix de grands risques personnels.

Essay must be submitted to a course and with the approval of the professor can be submitted for consideration for the contest. Winning essay is published in the Canadian Journal for Children’s Rights. 1. Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights. * Two issues published to date (2015 and (2016-2018) since John Packer resuscitated the yearbook in 2014. Solely online now. Next issue (2019-2021) should be published soon. * Offer a Canadian look at human rights - focus is human Rights in Canada and human rights AND Canada. * Audience is both academic and practitioners (law, NGO) and can perhaps be used as a reference for journalists and others if the format changed (more applied and synoptic). Perhaps renamed? “Snapshot of Human Rights in Canada Year XXXX”. The format of the yearbook could be · Year in review (“Developments in human rights in Canada” - world events, Canadian events, legislation, juridical, opportunities) · Thematic focus (this year it is COVID 19 – next time it could be the 40th Anniversary of Human Rights? Or perhaps “What can be learned from Canada’s response to the war in Ukraine?”) · People behind the scenes (Canadians in Human Rights i.e.: there is a housing human rights advocate – what is that?) * Currently the budget is $10-$15K (layout and production takes the bulk, some money for RAs and a small honorarium for a managing editor. The main obstacle is the lack of having a specific point person (managing editor) that can dedicate their time/focus in executing the yearbook (i.e.: tracking down authors/pieces, ensuring drafts become finalized, submit for layout, etc.) * Ideas: turn the Gordon Henderson Post Doc Fellowship in Human Rights (uOttawa) into a TWO year post doc and have the “yearbook” be under their job description (i.e.: they would be the managing editor, have a say in the foci, write a piece that can be published in it and then organize an outreach event for it and by going through the process 2x they can help train the next person). Have the Research Assistants come from different members of CAHRI to ensure that this is a CAHRI publication (mutual ownership/accountability/pride) not solely UOttawa. * Next steps: John to form the editorial board (ideally one representative per CAHRI member), board to choose 2 assistant editors, determine possible foci based on John’s proposals and discussions, uOttawa/HRREC to evaluate the option of using the postdoc as proposed.

Dear CAHRI member representatives/supporters, Happy May Day - at last! (I shouldn't jinx things, but it's finally a beautiful spring day at least in Ottawa... despite snowing again LAST WEEK!) I hope you are well and have survived (or are near to completing tasks arising from) the academic year - a second COVID-affected one with many challenges. I am addressing you with regard to a few matters as follows: First, we should have an Annual Meeting to catch-up, exchange views and perhaps decide one or two things. I am taking the liberty of suggesting we meet on Thursday 16 June. We/HRREC would happily arrange and host the meeting. Second, one important subject is to make progress with the Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (CYHR). For various reasons, it has been a struggle to get it done during the pandemic... but I am pleased to say the third issue is very near to publication (and includes a Special Section on COVID, guest edited by Alex Neve, and another Special Section profiling a handful of Canadian human rights advocates... of whom too little is known or as examples of careers). The immediate need now is to take steps for the next issue (2022-2023). We/HRREC are prepared to offer a modest honorarium for a Managing Editor and we will continue to cover production costs. The previously expressed hope is that CAHRI member entities would each nominate someone for the Editorial Board and that CAHRI would take up the publication as a more fully cooperative endeavour. We are aware that, previously, a few of you did respond positively and even identified a representative for an intended CYHR Editorial Board, but most did not respond. The time seems good to complete this task and move the initiative forward if there is sufficient interest. Third, on 16-17 June we/HRREC are hosting at uOttawa Faculty of Law a youth-oriented gathering around the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, There will be parallel sessions on Thursday 16 June and a larger plenary and public day on Friday 17 June. There are some associated initiatives - including political cartoon and photo-journalism competitions with which we're working with various partners and intend an online and physical exhibition. For the parallel meetings on 16 June, we will have one group of Law students and Human Rights students from across Canada, while students of journalism will be meeting in parallel as well as a group of our own "alumni". Friday, 17 June, will include representatives of government, implementing institutions, some who contributed to elaboration of the Charter 40 years ago, and a panel looking ahead at gaps and contemporary pressing issues. As we are hosting this gathering, we would be pleased to include a representative from each CAHRI member for whom we would cover the costs in Ottawa; there is no fee, so it is only transportation costs which we are not covering. If enough CAHRI members would be represented, then we could hold CAHRI's Annual Meeting bi-modally (some in-person and others joining online). Do please let us know the following: 1. Does your centre/institute/programme support holding the CAHRI Annual Meeting on Thursday, 16 June? 2. Does your centre/institute/programme wish to name a representative to the CYHR Editorial Board and, if so, whom? 3. Does your centre/institute/programme wish to send someone to attend our gathering in Ottawa on 16-17 June "Our Charter - Our Rights"? [If so, we will provide all relevant follow-up information.] Thanks for your attention, consideration and response.

CJHR turns 10!
by Shayna Plaut 26 May '22

26 May '22

Canadian Journal of Human Rights celebrates publication of 10th anniversary edition MAY 26, 2022 — The only Canadian peer-reviewed academic journal dealing exclusively with human rights research is still staying true to its original mandate 10 years later. Founded in 2012 by Faculty of Law professor, Dr. Donn Short, the Canadian Journal of Human Rights: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Law and Policy remains a publication of the Law Faculty Council at the University of Manitoba. Each year, about 20 law students cut their teeth on academic research working for the CJHR as Assistant Editors, Editors, and as Senior Editor, all under the guidance of Dr. Short who remains Editor-in-Chief. Produced with funding from the Legal Research Institute, the Law Foundation of Manitoba, and with assistance provided by Carmen Roberge, Faculty of Education and Professional Studies, Université de Saint-Boniface, the CJHR is an internationally recognized journal that attracts scholarship from respected human rights scholars around the world. Publications have included immigration and refugee law, freedom of expression, equality, sexuality and gender rights, international law, criminal law and numerous other issues related to domestic and international human rights. In the 10th Anniversary edition’s forward, Dr. Richard Jochelson, Dean of the Faculty of Law, recognizes the CJHR’s singularity and the critical role it plays in fostering the exploration of human rights issues, especially with so much more work to be done. “Disability injustice maintains, as Canada continues to lag even the United States in legislative responses to inaccessibility,” he writes. “Members of the LGBTQ2S*+ communities continue to be othered and excluded from institutions and opportunities across the globe. Hate crimes and anti-Semitic speech appear to be on the rise over the last several years in Canada and globally. Trumpism, the rise of strong men and movements to the fascistic right have increased around the world.” “It has never been more important to explore these vital issues, and this journal continues to be an international thought leading vehicle in the complicating of human rights discussions.” – Dr. Richard Jochelson, Dean of Law, Forward, (2021) 10:1 Can J Hum Rts “The CJHR is one of the few groups in the law school who do what we do twelve months during the year,” said Dr. Short. “There is no season to what we do – it’s an ongoing cycle. We work through the entire school year and we don’t stop during the summer. As those cycles have turned, ten times now, I have been cognizant of two overriding principles or goals that define our mission of public education. First, our task is to contribute to the growing awareness of human rights, generally, and, second, our charge to present scholarship that results in the actual respecting of human rights.” Senior Editor Jack Powles graduates from the Juris Doctor program this spring after having been involved with the CJHR in multiple capacities since the end of his first year of law school. He describes his time spent with the journal as one of the highlights of his law school experience. “It offers a unique experience during law school in being a part of an ongoing project throughout the entire academic year,” he said. “Each volume of the journal is a culmination of the work other student editors have done in preceding years, and it is both a rewarding and memorable experience to have each year culminate in publishing a volume of the CJHR with that year’s editorial team. I know the CJHR will continue to be a success for all of those involved, and pass all my thanks to Editor-in-Chief Dr. Donn Short for this invaluable mentorship throughout these past 2 years.” Editor Rhiannon Swan finishes her second year of law this spring and has learned much from her experience working on the journal. “I have really enjoyed being able to work with peers who share an interest in the promotion and discussion of human rights,” she said. “The CJHR has allowed me insight into topics that I might not have otherwise considered, and more importantly how the law might be used to protect the rights of vulnerable communities. I think this is something that is very important for professionals in the legal field to remember.” Articles contained in the 10th Anniversary edition include “The Final Refugee Paradigm: A Historical Warning” by J. Mauricio Gaona, “Managing Campus Expression and Equality Rights: Contemporary Considerations for Canadian Universities” by Arig al Shaibah and Sophie Poinar, and “Towards Developing a Non-ableist and Non-cisnormative Taxonomy of Bodily Integrity Identity and Expression in Canadian Human Rights Law” by Daniel W. Dylan. The full volume is available for download on the CJHR website<https://cjhr.ca/vol-10-no-1-2021/>, along with past volumes. This year’s editorial board consists of the following individuals: Editor-in-Chief Donn Short Senior Editor Jack Powles Editors Brandon Gray Brayden Gray Rhiannon Swan Prachi Sanghavi Lewis Waring Next year, students Rhiannon Swan and Brayden Grey will take on the roles of co-senior editors working with Dr. Short to continue the CJHR’s mission of producing outstanding human rights scholarship.

Dear CAHRI member representatives/supporters, Happy May Day - at last! (I shouldn't jinx things, but it's finally a beautiful spring day at least in Ottawa... despite snowing again LAST WEEK!) I hope you are well and have survived (or are near to completing tasks arising from) the academic year - a second COVID-affected one with many challenges. I am addressing you with regard to a few matters as follows: First, we should have an Annual Meeting to catch-up, exchange views and perhaps decide one or two things. I am taking the liberty of suggesting we meet on Thursday 16 June. We/HRREC would happily arrange and host the meeting. Second, one important subject is to make progress with the Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (CYHR). For various reasons, it has been a struggle to get it done during the pandemic... but I am pleased to say the third issue is very near to publication (and includes a Special Section on COVID, guest edited by Alex Neve, and another Special Section profiling a handful of Canadian human rights advocates... of whom too little is known or as examples of careers). The immediate need now is to take steps for the next issue (2022-2023). We/HRREC are prepared to offer a modest honorarium for a Managing Editor and we will continue to cover production costs. The previously expressed hope is that CAHRI member entities would each nominate someone for the Editorial Board and that CAHRI would take up the publication as a more fully cooperative endeavour. We are aware that, previously, a few of you did respond positively and even identified a representative for an intended CYHR Editorial Board, but most did not respond. The time seems good to complete this task and move the initiative forward if there is sufficient interest. Third, on 16-17 June we/HRREC are hosting at uOttawa Faculty of Law a youth-oriented gathering around the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, There will be parallel sessions on Thursday 16 June and a larger plenary and public day on Friday 17 June. There are some associated initiatives - including political cartoon and photo-journalism competitions with which we're working with various partners and intend an online and physical exhibition. For the parallel meetings on 16 June, we will have one group of Law students and Human Rights students from across Canada, while students of journalism will be meeting in parallel as well as a group of our own "alumni". Friday, 17 June, will include representatives of government, implementing institutions, some who contributed to elaboration of the Charter 40 years ago, and a panel looking ahead at gaps and contemporary pressing issues. As we are hosting this gathering, we would be pleased to include a representative from each CAHRI member for whom we would cover the costs in Ottawa; there is no fee, so it is only transportation costs which we are not covering. If enough CAHRI members would be represented, then we could hold CAHRI's Annual Meeting bi-modally (some in-person and others joining online). Do please let us know the following: 1. Does your centre/institute/programme support holding the CAHRI Annual Meeting on Thursday, 16 June? 2. Does your centre/institute/programme wish to name a representative to the CYHR Editorial Board and, if so, whom? 3. Does your centre/institute/programme wish to send someone to attend our gathering in Ottawa on 16-17 June "Our Charter - Our Rights"? [If so, we will provide all relevant follow-up information.] Thanks for your attention, consideration and response.

Human Rights in Ukraine course
by Shayna Plaut 04 May '22

04 May '22

perhaps of interest? I am on the board of the University of Arizona's Masters of Human Rights Practice and received this email from them. Their classes are always of high quality. Dear Shayna. We have put together a pretty unique course about human rights in Ukraine that will run from mid-May until the end of June. This is a course open to students for credit, as well as for community members (for a very low price). It will consist of a number of guest lecturers from the regions and on the ground, and address important and timely issues relevant to us all in all fields and walks of life. Please if you can spread the word about this course and please send the document attached to this email to your list servs and mailing lists - that would be a huge help! Many thanks, as always, Sincerely, Leonard

The program is designed for law graduates, legal researchers and professionals in the fields of international law and human rights and relevant fields. Candidates to this year program will have the option to participate in the on-site program in Palestine or in the online program version. The first, Al-Haq International Law Summer School on-site, will take place for a period of two weeks in Ramallah - Palestine, starting on 6th June, and concluding on the 18th June 2022. The second, Al-Haq International Law Summer School online, will start on the 18th of July and conclude on the 26th of July 2022, allowing participation of those professionals that cannot travel to the country. The summer school adheres to assist professionals in developing a coherent understanding of the legal and human rights situation in Palestine, while closely observing and exchanging on the main violations committed against the Palestinian people. The summer school offers lectures, discussions and field visits provided by human rights professionals, civil society organizations and human rights defenders on key human rights themes and trends in relation to the Palestinian people as whole. Various learning methods and tools both in offices and in field are applied across the program. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange with diverse number of lecturers, communities and sites (on-site or virtually). Both programs will run in English. Al-Haq’s summer school is a unique opportunity for professionals interested in the Palestinian context, the history and the future of the Palestinian people to achieve their inalienable rights. The International Law Summer School Program includes sessions on the following themes: * Historical overview of the Palestinian context; * International human rights law framework applicable to the Palestinian people; * International humanitarian law applicable to the occupied Palestinian territory; * Field visits and exchanges with communities; * International accountability mechanisms; * Human Rights of specific groups; such as women and children.

Please note, Al-Haq has launched the first summer school in 2015, since then, every year Al-Haq hosts a group of participants in Palestine. For the past two years, due to the Covid-19, the program was organized online, integrating recorded field visits to provide participants with the feeling of a real visit. Each year, the topics and themes vary depending on the availability of speakers and relevant developments on the ground, making the annual program unique. Al-Haq, is an independent Palestinian non-governmental human rights organization based in Ramallah, Palestine and established in 1979. Al-Haq’s mission is to protect and promote human rights and the rule of law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Al-Haq documents violations of the individual and collective rights of Palestinians in the OPT, irrespective of the identity of the perpetrator, and seeks to end such breaches by way of advocacy before national and international mechanisms and by holding the violators accountable. For more information on Al-Haq, please visit our website<https://alhaq.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10071401ba4201bc1a4992f68&i…>.

For in-person guests, masks will be required. La République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) est un État situé au centre de l’Afrique. Le pays fait face aux violences atroces depuis 1996. Divers massacres ont été commis, mais la plupart des auteurs sont actuellement disculpés et certains occupent des fonctions décisionnelles. La fin des parcours judiciaires des criminels ainsi que leur redéploiement sur les lieux des crimes mettent actuellement les victimes à l’épreuve, loin des observateurs.

About the speaker Politologue et spécialiste en gestion des conflits et de la paix, Valentin Migabo peut enfin publier ses travaux sur la situation qui règne dans la région des Grands lacs, en Afrique, minée par plus de 20 ans de conflits. Depuis mai 2019, il est le premier chercheur invité par le comité Scholars at Risk de l’UQAM (SAR/ Universitaires en danger, en français).

[White drone on black background] Drone Programs in International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery with Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi Moderated by Frédéric Mégret Monday, April 11, 1:00-2:30 PM (ET) Room 202 & on Zoom: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/86719038222<https://mcgill.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3&…> Registration required: sharon.webb(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:sharon.webb@mcgill.ca>. For in-person guests, masks will be required. Drone Programs and International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery (forthcoming, CUP) tells a story about how war, technology and the law interact and reshape one another. It does so by examining drone programs as a network, embedded in a social and historical context, of interacting and interdependent factors including the contemporary technological capacities of drones, law and military strategy. This interplay emerges from the analysis of the use of drones by the United States, the United Kingdom and France in the counterterrorism context. Legal scholarship on drones has denied that there was anything special to drones’ technology. On the contrary, I show that anticipatory warfare is facilitated and intensified by the capabilities of military drones and that the related legal rationales are made more acceptable by drones’ technical advances. Besides, I focus on the discreet and long-term implications of drone programs. I show that when institutionalized, like it has been in the US, drone programs invest the human bodies through individualized and constant observation, thereby modifying habits and behaviour. Institutionalized use of thereby consists, I argue, in rituals of sovereignty through which the operating state extends its power over populations living under drones. About the speaker Dr Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi is Lecturer in International Law and Security at the University of Manchester and the Public International Law / International Law & Security LLMs/MA Programme Director. Her book Drone Programs and International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. Rebecca holds a PhD from the European University Institute and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavis is the Managing Editor of the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law, an Associate Fellow at the T.M.C. Asser Institute, and a Research Fellow at the International Center for Counter-Terrorism. Since 2020, Rebecca is a Member of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War. Her research interests are in public international law, legal theory, international humanitarian law, human rights law and (international and European) criminal law. Her most recent work reflects on global security architectures as sites of lawmaking. Read more about Rebecca here<https://mcgill.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3&…>. [Policeman dressed in uniform standing at the corner of a street facing away from camera] The impact of law enforcement agencies perceptions on human trafficking in Canada A CHRLP/O'Brien Seminar with Olivia Smith Wednesday, April 20, 1:00-2:30 PM (ET) Location TBC Registration required: sharon.webb(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:sharon.webb@mcgill.ca>. For in-person guests, masks will be required. The Ministry of Public Security reports of 2021 show that human trafficking in Canada increased while the number of prosecution of cases remain low.

Fw: GEOPOLITICS AND THE WAR IN UKRAINE Virtual ASN Webinar, Wednesday March 23, noon central time7 PM Ukraine
by Shayna Plaut 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

please circulate Virtual ASN is hosting an upcoming webinar, Geopolitics and the War in Ukraine. The panel will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, March 23rd from 1:00-2:30 PM ET (Eastern Time) / 6:00-7:30 PM EET (Central European Time) // 7:00-8:30 PM EET (Ukrainian--Eastern European Time). In just a few weeks, Russia's further invasion of Ukraine has transformed the geopolitical landscape in Europe and beyond. While the West and its global allies rallied to denounce Russian aggression, other parts of the world (notably China and India) seem to be blaming the US. What are the appropriate historical analogies to make sense of these developments? Are we headed for a new Cold War between democracy and autocracy? What does the war imply for the future of global economic integration, already battered by the Covid-19 epidemic? This roundtable brings together respected scholars to address these large questions. Participants: James Goldgeier (American U, US) Olexiy Haran (University Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Ukraine) Gwendolyn Sasse (Humboldt U, Germany) Peter Rutland (Wesleyan U, US) David Shullman (Atlantic Council, US) Moderator: Zsuzsa Csergö (Queens U, Canada) To join this Virtual ASN event on March 23rd please register via the following link (you will be asked for your name, email address, and country of residence): https://tinyurl.com/36d8z5vc After you register, you will receive an email containing the link to the Zoom webinar.

Canada et sur les leçons que pourraient en tirer les mouvements américains qui contestent le système de réglementation de la famille. Tant aux États-Unis qu'au Canada, de vastes critiques de l'implication disparate des familles autochtones et d'autres familles de couleur ont percolé au premier plan des conversations nationales sur la justice sociale et raciale. L'affaire Caring Society a donné lieu à un jugement historique selon lequel le Canada a fait preuve de discrimination à l'égard des enfants des Premières Nations et de leurs familles en sous-finançant les services à l'enfance.

Canada and what U.S.-based movements challenging the family regulation system might learn from it. In both the U.S. and Canada, broad critiques of the disparate involvement of indigenous families and other families of color have percolated to the forefront of national conversations around social and racial justice. The Caring Society case resulted in a landmark ruling that Canada discriminated against First Nations children and their families by under-funding children’s services.

About Basquiat Dans les années 1980, Jean-Michel Basquiat était à peine sorti de l'adolescence alors qu’il s’est trouvé au cœur de la scène artistique new-yorkaise. Il est décédé à 27 ans, Traversant le milieu des arts comme une étoile filante. Ce peintre autodidacte a adopté le graffiti avant de s'engager dans la peinture. Basquiat est aujourd'hui reconnu comme l’un des peintres contemporains le plus importants et son œuvre unique continue de fasciner. Ses œuvres emblématiques contiennent des mots, des symboles et des diagrammes énigmatiques, ainsi qu'une iconographie comprenant des crânes, des masques et la couronne caractéristique de l'artiste. Dans son œuvre, Basquiat s'inspire de son propre héritage caribéen, d'une convergence d'histoires culturelles haïtiennes, afro-américaines et africaines. Son œuvre est marquée tant par des thèmes classiques que par des protagonistes de la culture populaire, notamment des athlètes et des musiciens.

New technologies, emergency situations, and scarce resources confront our policy- makers with hard questions and moral dilemmas concerning people with disabilities.

Re: [HR-rsch] CAHRI Statement on Russian Aggression against Ukraine
by Frederick John Packer 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Thanks Nicole for your quick response, careful read and suggested edits. I believe we can all accept improvements in grammar and clarity, and updating (as I have mentioned revision vis-à-vis Council of Europe action and now uniting for peace resolution). Beyond these, I don’t believe we have time to debate some formulations. E.g. the third paragraph is explicitly about Russia in the SC … and while one might deduce implications for other permanent members, that is not now the subject being addressed. I also believe it is both logically coherent and in fact the legal obligation of UN Member States always to seek peaceful resolution of disputes including in moments of self-defense as Article 33 and, more so, Article 51 explicitly make clear; the Charter does not oblige States to non-violence in self-defense, but it also does not relieve them of the underlying and ongoing duty. In this respect, it strikes me that Ukraine is being entirely consistent including applying at the ICJ for injunctive relief (an Order for Provisional Measures)… exactly a pacific recourse foreseen in Article 33. We can and should commend Ukraine for persistently (and creatively) remaining on this path. Of course, these are good topics for later debate (if we are fortunate enough to be afforded that luxury). I believe we need to issue the statement today (this evening latest) for relevance/currency. I hope others will respond ASAP (FYI, we are about halfway there in terms of membership).
