Public consultation - Inter-American Principles on Academic Freedom and University Autonomy
Dear colleagues,
I hope this note finds you well. I am writing to invite you to participate in a consultation organized by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in the context of adopting Inter-American Principles on Academic Freedom and University Autonomy. Our Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) at uOttawa is a member of the Academic Network of the IACHR and has worked on the promotion and advocacy of academic freedom in the Americas for a few years now. Since mid-Summer, HRREC and SAR NYC have supported the research, drafting and organization of workshops to inform a proposal that was submitted to the IACHR in early September. A few days ago, the IACHR released the final draft of the principles for public consultation. On this link, you will find the text and a form to submit your comments: http://www.oas.org/en/iachr/jsForm/?File=/en/iachr/reports/questionnaires.as.... The deadline for this consultation is Friday, November 12th. In addition, if you would like to sign a letter supporting the Principles, please let Salvador Herencia (shere045@uottawa.camailto:shere045@uottawa.ca), Director of our Human Rights Clinic, know by Tuesday, November 9th. Thank you in advance for your participation and/or for sharing this message with potential contributors in your campuses. Best wishes,
Viviana
