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.

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. Al-Haq’s mission is to protect and promote human rights and the rule of law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Al-Haq documents violations of the individual and collective rights of Palestinians in the OPT, irrespective of the identity of the perpetrator, and seeks to end such breaches by way of advocacy before national and international mechanisms and by holding the violators accountable. For more information on Al-Haq, please visit our website<https://alhaq.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10071401ba4201bc1a4992f68&i…>.

[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.

[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.

Fw: GEOPOLITICS AND THE WAR IN UKRAINE Virtual ASN Webinar, Wednesday March 23, noon central time7 PM Ukraine
by Shayna Plaut 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

please circulate Virtual ASN is hosting an upcoming webinar, Geopolitics and the War in Ukraine. The panel will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, March 23rd from 1:00-2:30 PM ET (Eastern Time) / 6:00-7:30 PM EET (Central European Time) // 7:00-8:30 PM EET (Ukrainian--Eastern European Time). In just a few weeks, Russia's further invasion of Ukraine has transformed the geopolitical landscape in Europe and beyond. While the West and its global allies rallied to denounce Russian aggression, other parts of the world (notably China and India) seem to be blaming the US. What are the appropriate historical analogies to make sense of these developments? Are we headed for a new Cold War between democracy and autocracy? What does the war imply for the future of global economic integration, already battered by the Covid-19 epidemic? This roundtable brings together respected scholars to address these large questions. Participants: James Goldgeier (American U, US) Olexiy Haran (University Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Ukraine) Gwendolyn Sasse (Humboldt U, Germany) Peter Rutland (Wesleyan U, US) David Shullman (Atlantic Council, US) Moderator: Zsuzsa Csergö (Queens U, Canada) To join this Virtual ASN event on March 23rd please register via the following link (you will be asked for your name, email address, and country of residence): https://tinyurl.com/36d8z5vc After you register, you will receive an email containing the link to the Zoom webinar.

22 Mar '22

English follows. Le Centre de recherche et d'enseignement sur les droits de la personne (CREDP) est heureux de vous inviter à cette présentation virtuelle par Julia Hernandez, professeure agrégée de droit à la CUNY School of Law et titulaire de la Chaire de recherche Fulbright Canada sur les droits de la personne et la justice sociale cet hiver 2022 au CREDP : La pratique militante du droit dans l’affaire Caring Society La professeure Julia Hernandez présentera les résultats préliminaires d'une recherche sur l'impact de la pratique militante du droit dans l'affaire Caring Society c. Canada et sur les leçons que pourraient en tirer les mouvements américains qui contestent le système de réglementation de la famille. Tant aux États-Unis qu'au Canada, de vastes critiques de l'implication disparate des familles autochtones et d'autres familles de couleur ont percolé au premier plan des conversations nationales sur la justice sociale et raciale. L'affaire Caring Society a donné lieu à un jugement historique selon lequel le Canada a fait preuve de discrimination à l'égard des enfants des Premières Nations et de leurs familles en sous-finançant les services à l'enfance. Lundi le 28 mars 2022 Midi à 13 h EN LIGNE | Webinaire ZOOM Événement en anglais. | Gratuit et ouvert à toutes et à tous.

Canada and what U.S.-based movements challenging the family regulation system might learn from it. In both the U.S. and Canada, broad critiques of the disparate involvement of indigenous families and other families of color have percolated to the forefront of national conversations around social and racial justice. The Caring Society case resulted in a landmark ruling that Canada discriminated against First Nations children and their families by under-funding children’s services.
