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).

CAHRI Statement on Russian Aggression against Ukraine
by Frederick John Packer 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Dear all CAHRI Members, In this extraordinary moment - when the global rules-based international order is shaken to its core, human rights utterly disregarded, and nuclear war threatened by a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council, I take the liberty to address you hoping for solidarity in issuing the attached joint statement. 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).

[cid:c17628e7-2199-4ea2-b07b-a6d0553b6b05] Greetings CAHRI Colleagues, The Atlantic Human Rights Centre invites you to the 2022 Abdul Q.

Dr. Borrows is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law and Professor at the University of Victoria Faculty of Law. About the lecture, he says: “Indigenous peoples use law to regulate their affairs and resolve their disputes. Indigenous law functions through standards, principles, criteria, measures, guideposts, tradition, precedent, and processes to provide intellectual and cultural resources for making decisions. “Indigenous law is growing in force and importance and this talk will discuss how and why this is occurring. In the process, legislatures, courts, corporations, law schools and other institutions in Canada are increasingly having to grapple with Indigenous law and Canadian law related to Indigenous peoples. This talk will discuss how Indigenous peoples’ law is an increasingly active force across the land.” Dr. Borrows is the author of books including Recovering Canada: The Resurgence of Indigenous Law (Donald Smiley Award for Best Book in Canadian Political Science, 2002), Canada’s Indigenous Constitution (Canadian Law and Society Best Book Award 2011), Drawing out Law: A Spirit’s Guide (2010), Freedom and Indigenous Constitutionalism (Donald Smiley Award for Best Book in Canadian Political Science, 2016), The Right Relationship (with Michael Coyle, ed.), Resurgence and Reconciliation (with Michael Asch, Jim Tully, eds.), and Law’s Indigenous Ethics (2020 Best Subsequent Book Award from Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, 2020 W. Wes Pue Best Book Award from the Canadian Law and Society Association). He is also the 2017 Killam Prize winner in Social Sciences and the 2019 Molson Prize winner from the Canada Council for the Arts, the 2020 Governor General’s Innovation Award winner, and the 2021 Canadian Bar Association President’s Award winner. He was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2020. He is a member of the Chippewa of the Nawash First Nation in Ontario.

For more information on the event, see here<https://mcgill.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3&…>. In recent decades, claims for reparations of historic injustices have amplified, whether in the context of colonial wrongdoing against Indigenous Peoples, reparation for enslavement or compensation for victims of discriminatory laws targeting specific minority groups. Meanwhile, the emergence of transitional justice has sparked the normative development of the right to reparations. Drawing from the cases of Canada and Colombia, this panel will seek to address some of the core legal questions related to the State’s obligation to provide reparations for massive and/or State-sanctioned violations of human rights and breaches of International Humanitarian Law. About the speakers Éloïse Décoste is a Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation scholar and a LL.D. candidate at the Département des sciences juridiques of the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her doctoral research investigates the State’s obligation to provide reparation for colonial genocide in the context of ongoing settler colonialism.
