CAHRI - minutes FEB 19 2021 call
by Viviana Fernandez 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Dear all, Thank you for participating in the February 19th, 2021 CAHRI call. Here are some notes from our discussion that we hope summarize the main points shared. Participants: Christina Szurlej, Atlantic Human Rights Centre, St. Thomas University; Nandini Ramanujam, Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, McGill University; Adele Perry and Helen Fallding, Centre for Human Rights Research, University of Manitoba; Anna Purkey, Human Rights Program, St. Paul University, University of Waterloo; Mona Paré, Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child (LRIDE), University of Ottawa; Nicole Barrett, International Justice & Human Rights Clinic, University of British Columbia (UBC); Landon Pearson, Landon Pearson Centre for the Study of Childhood and Children's Rights, Carleton University; John Packer, Joao Velloso and Viviana Fernandez, Human Rights Research & Education Centre (HRREC), University of Ottawa. The meeting started with a round of introductions. John Packer then spoke about the Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights, its origins, the recent online editions (since 2015) and the goal to make this a joint project of CAHRI. For the next edition (2019-2020), he outlined the progress made to date and explained the idea of creating a special section on Covid-19 and its impacts for human rights in Canada, with guest editor Alex Neve, former Secretary General for Amnesty International Canada. The section would feature contributions from CAHRI members. Papers would be policy-oriented, not longer than 10-12 pages and the deadline would be in April to ensure a summer publications for the Yearbook. John will follow-up with those CAHRI members interested in joining the Editorial Board for the Yearbook and will share guidelines for the special section on a separate email, including Alex Neve. Proposals to date cover the following subjects: * St. Thomas University: Covid-19 and women's rights (disproportionate responsibilities on childcare, care of the elderly, domestic violence, etc.) * Carleton University: human rights based approach applied to children rights during the pandemic, civil and political rights of children. * St. Paul University: migration/refugee related issues, border closures, etc. * McGill University: Disability in Canada. * HRREC: Covid-19 in prisons and incarceration. * LRIDE: children's rights and welfare. * UBC: Effects on the right of association, freedom of expression or how treaty bodies reporting has been impacted during the pandemic. * University of Manitoba submitted several proposals, including: * Canadian Parents of Students with Disabilities and the Impact of COVID-19: Is this an Inclusive and Equitable Education? * High Impact of COVID-19 in Canada's Indigenous Communities are Human Rights gone Wrong. * Incapacitation Governance, Biosecurity, and Human Rights. * The Pandemic, Poverty and Human Rights. The group agreed to consider organizing an round table in May (online event) to address "Canada's reaction to the pandemic from a human rights perspective" based on the submitted papers. We can also develop a short policy paper with specific recommendations for government to be released in June. The release could be promoted in the media and on social media to maximize exposure and reach key federal actors. The meeting continued by sharing short updates from members. Notable dates and initiatives include: Event at St. Thomas University on February 25th at 2pm on perspectives on being a good ally; the 40th anniversary of HRREC during academic year 2021-2022; the 30th anniversary of the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on December 13th 2021; the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter in 2022; a new international program on Disability, Inclusion and Climate Action, launched by McGill University. Members are encouraged to share news and announcements through the listserv going forward. Finally, John Packer mentioned the possibility of participating in projects to be proposed by Amnesty International that could be of interest to CAHRI members. He will share information on this shortly. Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A.

Invitation to contribute to Special Focus of CYHR on "COVID and Canada"
by Helen Fallding 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, I am addressing you as representatives of the Canadian Association of Human Rights Institutes (CAHRI). We/HRREC-uOttawa hope this finds everyone alright despite the evident challenges. It is our observation that the myriad challenges posed by COVID have not so far been addressed by a Human Rights Based Approach nor even much informed by human rights. At the same time, the pandemic has exposed a wide range of human rights problems and exacerbated some of these. We have been disappointed that in some instances our governments have even declined or rejected the suggestion or opportunity to follow human rights norms, standards and methods. As such, for the 2019-2020 Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (to be published in summer 2021) we have decided to include a Special Focus section on the Coronavirus and Canada. We are delighted that Alex Neve (until recently the long-time Secretary General of Amnesty International Canada) has agreed to serve as Guest Editor of the section. For the Yearbook (including style guidelines), see: https://cdp-hrc.uottawa.ca/en/publications/canadian_yearbook_human_rights We hope that each member institution of CAHRI will take responsibility to contribute one paper (of 8-12 pages) on a selected topic or issue; altogether, we would have a good dozen plus an overview. You are entirely free to choose your topic, but we wish no two to cover the same subject matter. From uOttawa, we will address the challenges of COVID for and in prisons and other centres of detention in Canada. The deadline for submissions is 30 April 2021. We will turn them around quickly in view of the summer publication. Each paper should summarise the problem/situation and including conclusions and recommendations. It may be written on behalf of your Centre/Programme or in the individual name(s) of a person or persons submitting from your institution. We are open to the prospect of holding a Symposium to present and discuss the papers and, if merited, perhaps to submit a joint letter to our governments containing a summary of recommendations. With a view to this publishing initiative (notably to discuss the Special Focus and possible topics), and also to catch-up on various activities, we are proposing a meeting in mid-February (12, 18 or 19 February). Please respond to this Doodle poll to indicate preferred date and time: https://doodle.com/poll/bzwazefxt4x2ie5c?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link Thank you for your kind attention and ongoing interest. We look forward to hearing from you.

Feb 9 - More Than an Innocent Mistake: The Story of David Milgaard's Wrongful Conviction
by Helen Fallding 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism at McGill University invites you to a critical conversation about miscarriages of justice in Canada. More Than an Innocent Mistake: The Story of David Milgaard’s Wrongful Conviction Date: February 9, 2021 Time: 1:00-2:30 pm ET (Montreal) Zoom: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/84488268021 [cid:image001.png@01D6F95D.A4590320] The talk will explore the interrelationship between David Milgaard's wrongful conviction and wider systemic concerns, from root causes of miscarriages of justice to the neglected social impact of "tough on crime" political rhetoric. David Milgaard was arrested at the age of sixteen for non-capital murder. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. David was not guilty in any way of this crime. His mother, Joyce Milgaard, never gave up her fight to prove the truth about her son's innocence and she secured his freedom after he had served more than 22 years of imprisonment. David became involved with social justice issues while in prison and he continues to speak and advocate for change.
