CAHRI - last meeting and Terms of Reference for review
by Viviana Fernandez 14 May '25

14 May '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.

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.

(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!

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 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.

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?

by Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/5ca2c180697d/winter-2025-newsletter-of-the-centre-for-hu…) Welcome to the Winter 2025 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 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. CHRRJ External Advisory Committee Members The External Advisory Committee members provide expert advice to the director on the Centre’s priorities and opportunities for growth.

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.

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. Remembering Air India Flight 182: A 40th Anniversary Conference is co-sponsored by McMaster University’s Office of the President, Office of International Affairs, University Library and Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship, Centre for Community-Engaged Narrative Arts, Centre for Human Rights and Restorative Justice (CHRRJ), Centre for Global Peace, Justice & Health, Humanities Media and Computing, Department of English & Cultural Studies, Department of Communication Studies & Media Arts, Department of History, Global Peace & Social Justice Program, Faculty of Arts & Science, and School of the Arts; the Canada Research Chair in Cultural Memory, U Winnipeg; and; the South Asian Heritage Association of Hamilton and Region.

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.
