Le Centre de recherche et d'enseignement sur les droits de la personne (CREDP) est heureux de vous inviter à cette présentation virtuelle par Julia Hernandez, professeure agrégée de droit à la CUNY School of Law et titulaire de la Chaire de recherche Fulbright Canada sur les droits de la personne et la justice sociale cet hiver 2022 au CREDP : La pratique militante du droit dans l’affaire Caring Society La professeure Julia Hernandez présentera les résultats préliminaires d'une recherche sur l'impact de la pratique militante du droit dans l'affaire Caring Society c. 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. Lundi le 28 mars 2022 Midi à 13 h EN LIGNE | Webinaire ZOOM Événement en anglais. | Gratuit et ouvert à toutes et à tous.

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.

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.

Re: [HR-rsch] CAHRI Statement on Russian Aggression against Ukraine
by Frederick John Packer 02 Mar '22

02 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).

We/HRREC-uOttawa believe that the moral and legal basis for our international work is threatened by the actions of Putin/Russia and we cannot sensibly sit silently watching. I note other important institutions have issued statements. I believe CAHRI should, too. I understand some CAHRI Members have policies against issuing any statements or endorsing any. That can be respected by indicating (by an asterisk) those members that wish to include their names; it is also possible to indicate an individual’s name and affiliation (as in X, Professor and Director of Y). It would, of course, be preferable simply to issue the statement for the group as a whole. Given the speed of developments, it would be preferable to issue the statement by close of business on Monday, 28 February (5pm ET). We could then post it on our websites and also share it with media or others as we deem appropriate. Thank you for your consideration and response. I am available for any clarification.
