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 the speaker
Daniel Del Gobbo is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the McGill University Faculty of Law.

Publishing widely in these areas, Daniel has a book forthcoming with the University of Toronto Press, Negotiating Feminism: Charting a Path through Law, Sex, and Violence, which traces the reflection of the feminist "sex wars" from the late 1970s to the early 1990s in contemporary debates about the role of law in addressing the problem of campus sexual violence. Previously, Daniel earned his S.J.D. from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2021, where he was a Trudeau Scholar, SSHRC Doctoral Fellow, and CBA Viscount Bennett Fellow. He earned his LL.M. from Harvard Law School in 2015 and J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2011.

New technologies, emergency situations, and scarce resources confront our policy- makers with hard questions and moral dilemmas concerning people with disabilities. An important factor in making decisions regarding how to best respond to disability needs and redistribute limited social resources is how the well-being or the quality of life of people with disabilities will be evaluated.

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.

Daniel Del Gobbo is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the McGill University Faculty of Law.

Publishing widely in these areas, Daniel has a book forthcoming with the University of Toronto Press, Negotiating Feminism: Charting a Path through Law, Sex, and Violence, which traces the reflection of the feminist "sex wars" from the late 1970s to the early 1990s in contemporary debates about the role of law in addressing the problem of campus sexual violence. Previously, Daniel earned his S.J.D. from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2021, where he was a Trudeau Scholar, SSHRC Doctoral Fellow, and CBA Viscount Bennett Fellow.

New technologies, emergency situations, and scarce resources confront our policy- makers with hard questions and moral dilemmas concerning people with disabilities. An important factor in making decisions regarding how to best respond to disability needs and redistribute limited social resources is how the well-being or the quality of life of people with disabilities will be evaluated.

Re: [HR-rsch] CAHRI Statement on Russian Aggression against Ukraine
by Frederick John Packer 01 Mar '22
by Frederick John Packer 01 Mar '22
01 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).
Best wishes to all,
John

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). 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.
Sincerely,
John
