This topic is not only interesting from a human rights perspective (both from the point of view of victims and alleged perpetrators), but it is also a thought-provoking issue for criminologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists. * Thursday 26 August: PhD workshop * Friday 27 August: AHRI conference * Saturday 28 August: AHRI conference * Download the programme here<https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/file/programmeahriconference20211pdf> ORGANISERS The AHRI 2021 conference is a joint effort by the Maastricht Centre for Human Rights and the Association of Human Rights Institutes. The Maastricht Centre for Human Rights<http://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/MCfHR> is based at the Faculty of Law of Maastricht University. There is great diversity among the members as regards nationalities and cultural and scientific backgrounds. Research conducted at the centre is interdisciplinary, with a focus on public international law, criminal law, criminology and other relevant social sciences. The Centre favours research themes that contribute to a better society within the context of the process of globalisation and that raise fundamental questions about human rights (as opposed to mere technicalities). The Association of Human Rights Institutes<http://www.ahri-network.org/> (AHRI) is a network of almost 80 member institutions that carry out research and education in the field of human rights across every continent. The objective of AHRI is to promote research, education and discussion in the field of human rights.

Tomorrow's live on-line debate of whether or not China's treatment of the Uyghurs constitutes genocide
by Frederick John Packer 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Dear all, I take the liberty to draw to your attention that tomorrow (6 July 2021) I will debate 'live' on-line Professor William Schabas (renowned legal scholar and specialist on genocide) on the topic of whether or not the situation of Uyghurs in China constitutes genocide. I believe it does; he believes it does not. Of course, people of sincere intention may reasonably disagree. The debate will be introduced by the Executive Director of the Stop Uyghur Genocide Campaign who will explain why the debate matters. You may register for the debate here: https://www.renecassin.org/event/uyghur-repression-systematic-brutal-but-is… Especially in the light of discussions across our own country about past or ongoing genocides, this debate may hold interest. Please disseminate widely the notice.

Minutes CAHRI call - May 12, 2021
by Viviana Fernandez 13 May '21

13 May '21

Dear all, Thank you to those who were able to attend today's call. Here are some notes from our conversation. Please feel free to add if I forgot something important. In attendance: Kyle Matthews (Concordia U.); Melike Yilmaz and Bonny Ibhawoh (McMaster U.); Adele Perry (U. Manitoba); Virginia Caputo (Carleton U.); Anna Purkey (U. Waterloo); Nandini Ramanujam (McGill U.); Mirja Trilsch (UQAM); John Packer and Viviana Fernandez (uOttawa). Excused: Justin Rasmussen, Christina Szurlej and Mona Paré. The meeting began with a short introduction round and a review of institution members not in attendance. Adele Perry will connect with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation since there was a change of leadership and the new Director may not be aware of CAHRI. Topics discussed: 1. Joint activities and initiatives: * Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights<https://cdp-hrc.uottawa.ca/en/publications/canadian_yearbook_human_rights>. This will continue as a joint initiative of CAHRI. i. Need to establish an Editorial Advisory Board (initial interest from Karen Busby (U. Manitoba), Anna Purkey, Nandini Ramanujam, Virginia Caputo and John Packer) and hire a Managing Editor (ideally a graduate student). HRREC has some funding to support this. ii. Current edition of the Yearbook (2019-20) is expected to be published this summer, including a Covid-19 special section edited by Alex Neve. Some members have already committed policy contributions. A fall event is also planned to showcase the contributions from members. John will follow up on this separately. iii. Could create multimedia materials (podcasts) to accompany the different volumes of the Yearbook, like other publications do. iv. Need to start planning next edition (2021 alone or 2021-22). * Research projects and initiatives: i. Consider producing shadow reports for UNSR visits and reports, UPR reviews, etc. * HRREC will organize a conference on the Charter and Human Rights in early 2022 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Charter and the Centre. CAHRI members will be invited to participate/contribute. * Advocacy on issues of national importance (letters, petitions, statements, etc.). The idea seems natural for a body like CAHRI but there may process related problems for members to endorse such actions. This issue should be explored further by every member in case their particular rules do not allow them to join group actions. 1. Institutional set up for CAHRI: * Proposals to identify one representative per CAHRI member and to list joint initiatives on the webpage<https://wp.stu.ca/ahrc/association-of-canadian-human-rights-institutes/> - approved. Please send the information to Christina Szurlej cszurlej(a)stu.ca<mailto:cszurlej@stu.ca> at your convenience. * Consider creating an Executive Board/Committee for CAHRI and establish a constitution which could incorporate issues like how to deal with joint statements/letters. Members are invited to share options to consider as possible models. * Use the listserv to share information about research initiatives, events and advocacy actions, etc. Very best wishes, Viviana Viviana A.
