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.

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/>. Mardi le 22 novembre 2022 11:30 – 12 :50 En ligne sur Zoom En personne au Pavillon FAUTEUX | FTX232 (57 Louis-Pasteur Privée, uOttawa) Événement en français.

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.

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….

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.

Annual<https://droitcivil.uottawa.ca/interdisciplinary-research-laboratory-rights-…> at uOttowa. Annual deadline May 15th. 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

CAHRI annual meeting, CYHR and "Our Charter - Our Rights" gathering 16-17 June uOttawa - three questions
by Viviana Fernandez 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear colleagues, Apologies if you already received the note below from John Packer over the weekend. Thank in advance for sending your responses to jpacker(a)uottawa.ca<mailto:jpacker@uottawa.ca> at your earliest convenience. Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A. Fernandez Directrice adjointe / Assistant Director Centre de recherche et d’enseignement sur les droits de la personne / Human Rights Research and Education Centre Université d’Ottawa / University of Ottawa Twitter: @vafi1217 Fêtons le 40e anniversaire du CREDP<https://cdp-hrc.uottawa.ca/en/CREDP40HRREC> / Celebrate the 40th anniversary of HRREC<https://cdp-hrc.uottawa.ca/fr/CREDP40HRREC> Vous pouvez aussi communiquer avec moi via Teams (uOttawa). | You can also contact me via Teams (uOttawa). From: Frederick John Packer <John.Packer(a)uottawa.ca<mailto:John.Packer@uottawa.ca>> Sent: Sunday, May 1, 2022 1:05 PM Subject: CAHRI annual meeting, CYHR and "Our Charter - Our Rights" gathering 16-17 June uOttawa - three questions Importance: High 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.
