The program is designed for law graduates, legal researchers and professionals in the fields of international law and human rights and relevant fields. Candidates to this year program will have the option to participate in the on-site program in Palestine or in the online program version. The first, Al-Haq International Law Summer School on-site, will take place for a period of two weeks in Ramallah - Palestine, starting on 6th June, and concluding on the 18th June 2022. The second, Al-Haq International Law Summer School online, will start on the 18th of July and conclude on the 26th of July 2022, allowing participation of those professionals that cannot travel to the country. The summer school adheres to assist professionals in developing a coherent understanding of the legal and human rights situation in Palestine, while closely observing and exchanging on the main violations committed against the Palestinian people. The summer school offers lectures, discussions and field visits provided by human rights professionals, civil society organizations and human rights defenders on key human rights themes and trends in relation to the Palestinian people as whole. Various learning methods and tools both in offices and in field are applied across the program. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange with diverse number of lecturers, communities and sites (on-site or virtually). Both programs will run in English. Al-Haq’s summer school is a unique opportunity for professionals interested in the Palestinian context, the history and the future of the Palestinian people to achieve their inalienable rights. The International Law Summer School Program includes sessions on the following themes: * Historical overview of the Palestinian context; * International human rights law framework applicable to the Palestinian people; * International humanitarian law applicable to the occupied Palestinian territory; * Field visits and exchanges with communities; * International accountability mechanisms; * Human Rights of specific groups; such as women and children. For more information about the Al-Haq Center for Applied International Law and the International Law Summer School program, please see the introductory video here<https://alhaq.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10071401ba4201bc1a4992f68&i…>. Please note, Al-Haq has launched the first summer school in 2015, since then, every year Al-Haq hosts a group of participants in Palestine. For the past two years, due to the Covid-19, the program was organized online, integrating recorded field visits to provide participants with the feeling of a real visit. Each year, the topics and themes vary depending on the availability of speakers and relevant developments on the ground, making the annual program unique. Al-Haq, is an independent Palestinian non-governmental human rights organization based in Ramallah, Palestine and established in 1979.

For in-person guests, masks will be required. La République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) est un État situé au centre de l’Afrique. Le pays fait face aux violences atroces depuis 1996. Divers massacres ont été commis, mais la plupart des auteurs sont actuellement disculpés et certains occupent des fonctions décisionnelles. La fin des parcours judiciaires des criminels ainsi que leur redéploiement sur les lieux des crimes mettent actuellement les victimes à l’épreuve, loin des observateurs. See here<https://mcgill.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3&…> for more event details. About the speaker Politologue et spécialiste en gestion des conflits et de la paix, Valentin Migabo peut enfin publier ses travaux sur la situation qui règne dans la région des Grands lacs, en Afrique, minée par plus de 20 ans de conflits. Depuis mai 2019, il est le premier chercheur invité par le comité Scholars at Risk de l’UQAM (SAR/ Universitaires en danger, en français). Ce réseau universitaire permet à des chercheurs de partout dans le monde, et dont la vie est menacée, d'obtenir des postes dans des universités où ils pourront effectuer leurs recherches en sécurité et en toute liberté.

As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the constitutional recognition of Indigenous rights, it is timely to reflect upon the impact of these constitutional reforms.

[White drone on black background] Drone Programs in International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery with Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi Moderated by Frédéric Mégret Monday, April 11, 1:00-2:30 PM (ET) Room 202 & on Zoom: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/86719038222<https://mcgill.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=876a0fb07443c2ba7a644f4f3&…> Registration required: sharon.webb(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:sharon.webb@mcgill.ca>. For in-person guests, masks will be required. Drone Programs and International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery (forthcoming, CUP) tells a story about how war, technology and the law interact and reshape one another. It does so by examining drone programs as a network, embedded in a social and historical context, of interacting and interdependent factors including the contemporary technological capacities of drones, law and military strategy. This interplay emerges from the analysis of the use of drones by the United States, the United Kingdom and France in the counterterrorism context. Legal scholarship on drones has denied that there was anything special to drones’ technology. On the contrary, I show that anticipatory warfare is facilitated and intensified by the capabilities of military drones and that the related legal rationales are made more acceptable by drones’ technical advances. Besides, I focus on the discreet and long-term implications of drone programs. I show that when institutionalized, like it has been in the US, drone programs invest the human bodies through individualized and constant observation, thereby modifying habits and behaviour. Institutionalized use of thereby consists, I argue, in rituals of sovereignty through which the operating state extends its power over populations living under drones. About the speaker Dr Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi is Lecturer in International Law and Security at the University of Manchester and the Public International Law / International Law & Security LLMs/MA Programme Director. Her book Drone Programs and International Law: A Techno-Legal Machinery is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press. Rebecca holds a PhD from the European University Institute and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.

Asser Institute, and a Research Fellow at the International Center for Counter-Terrorism. Since 2020, Rebecca is a Member of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Military Law and the Law of War.

[Policeman dressed in uniform standing at the corner of a street facing away from camera] The impact of law enforcement agencies perceptions on human trafficking in Canada A CHRLP/O'Brien Seminar with Olivia Smith Wednesday, April 20, 1:00-2:30 PM (ET) Location TBC Registration required: sharon.webb(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:sharon.webb@mcgill.ca>. For in-person guests, masks will be required. The Ministry of Public Security reports of 2021 show that human trafficking in Canada increased while the number of prosecution of cases remain low. Progress in combatting human trafficking has been sidelined due to the COVID 19 pandemic and there is urgent need to reprioritize addressing the crime of human trafficking. About the speaker Dr. Olivia Smith is a Consultant on labour migration and human trafficking and the Executive Director for the Caribbean Anti Human Trafficking Foundation. She has worked with several regional and international institutions including the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) as Project Lead on Trafficking in Persons (Barbados) and with The British Institute of International and Comparative Law Institute (BIICL) as National Consultant on Human Trafficking in Guyana.
