Re: Request from CMHR to join CAHRI
by Nandini Ramanujam, Prof. 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hello Frederick, Good to hear from you. Thanks for your message about the request from CMHR. I met with Matthew Cutler and other Museum folks in Winnipeg in Spring and soon after met Jeremy Maron in Montreal. I understood that CMHR is undergoing a process self-reflection and strategic planning. They are engaging in countrywide consultations with different stakeholders; one was held in Montreal. This is to say that they are clearly looking to engage with academic institutions and CAHRI could be great partner for them. I think CMHR could have an observer status but I do not see them as a member. They could be invited to attend meetings and could consult with individual member institutions on need basis. Thanks Best Nandini From: Frederick Packer <John.Packer(a)uottawa.ca> Date: Monday, August 21, 2023 at 6:12 PM To: "hr-research-centres(a)lists.umanitoba.ca" <hr-research-centres(a)lists.umanitoba.ca> Subject: [HR-rsch] Request from CMHR to join CAHRI Dear colleagues, I trust this finds you well and enjoying the summer period (hopefully far from wildfires, tornadoes, floods and other increasingly common hazards of our new climate crisis). I am addressing you having received a request from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (notably their Research Section and Library) to join CAHRI. I had the pleasure recently to discuss with them their motivations as well as the particular character of their institution as part of the federal Government (with, of course, some arms-length control). They would like to benefit from and contribute to our research and academic community and find ways to cooperate/collaborate to mutual benefit. We believe there exist opportunities in this regard. However, to preserve the full academic freedom of CAHRI members and our association, it has been agreed that the CMHR would join with some limitations to be set out in terms of an “Observer” or “Affiliate” membership (without voting privileges). I am addressing you now to solicit your views on this idea. Would you favour it or, if not, what are your concerns? I would be grateful to receive your reactions and any comments in the next couple weeks (before 8 September). Thanks in advance for your attention and response.

Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights - info and a question
by Frederick John Packer 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Dear colleagues, I expect you'll read this on return to your desks following the summer and what in Ottawa at least is a lovely long weekend. Best wishes for the new academic year! I'm addressing you just to draw your attention to three elements of the next Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (Volume IV, 2022-2023, to be published in summer 2024): * The Call for submissions for the peer-reviewed General Section has been extended to 31 October 2023 : https://www.uottawa.ca/research-innovation/hrrec/news/call-papers-canadian-… These can address any issue of human rights in or relating (somehow) to Canada or Canada in the world. * If you have suggestions for important or difficult to find documentation arising to events/activities in the 2022-2023 period (i.e. inclusive the 24-month period), please let us know: chry(a)uottawa.ca<mailto:chry@uottawa.ca> * I am pleased to inform you that we will publish Special Sections addressing: 1) racial profiling in Quebec (arising from the Luamba decision [Luamba c. Procureur général du Québec, 2022 QCCS 3866, <https://canlii.ca/t/jsmj7>]) and, 2) freedom of movement and access to transportation for isolated (mainly indigenous) communities in Western Canada. But we have received an interesting proposal for a third Special Section which would engage CAHRI Member institutions to address Canada's human rights foreign policy and related engagements. Specifically, in the light of calls for (and already ongoing) re-thinking and proper FP elaboration together with institutional support, it is timely to feed ideas into prospective policy. To this end, there is a proposal for CAHRI to hold a consultation and share views, including by means of a compilation of inputs/suggestions as part of a CYHR Special Section. My question to you is: Would you (or someone from your institution) be interested to contribute/participate in a consultation (i.e. to identify and discuss core ideas and principal elements) and, if so, prospectively to contribute a short paper (3-4,000 word) for publication? I would be grateful to receive your responses by Monday, 11 September. Thanks in advance. Thanks for your consideration and response.

For Friday, Aug. 11 - Human Rights 101: Human Rights in Canada and Internationally
by Christina Szurlej 04 Aug '23

04 Aug '23

Dear CAHRI Members, I hope this finds you well! I’m writing as the lead on an edited volume titled Human Rights 101: Human Rights in Canada and Internationally, which will be published by Emond Publishing in February 2026. I’m seeking authors to contribute to contribute one or more chapters in the edited volume. As heads of your respective human rights institutes, I’m turning to you to ask whether you have faculty to recommend for me to approach for specific chapters, given your insight into their expertise. Enclosed is the table of contents for your interest. It would be greatly appreciated if you could please respond to me with any recommendations by Friday, August 11, 2023. As part of a larger project, I believe there is value in having a CAHRI directory of human rights experts from our institutes across Canada to which we would all have access to help foster similar opportunities for collaboration. I’m happy to take the lead on compiling this and ask the heads of human rights institutes to please complete the form below. You’re welcome to respond directly using that form or in a Word version enclosed for ease of reference / to streamline formatting if you prefer. Name of Research Institute Name of Researcher Researcher Title Areas of Expertise Kind thanks, Christina

Support for HRD in Canada, Noura Aljizawi
by Viviana Fernandez 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Message sent on behalf of prof. Nandini Ramanujam, Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, McGill University. Begin forwarded message: From: Camila Franco <camila.franco(a)citizenlab.ca<mailto:camila.franco@citizenlab.ca>> Subject: Support for HRD in Canada, Noura Aljizawi Dear Professor Ramanujam, I hope the summer months have been treating you and your loved ones well. I am writing to bring to your attention the case of Noura Aljizawi, a researcher and colleague of mine at the Citizen Lab<https://citizenlab.ca/>, who I imagine you might already know! My colleagues and I are trying to reach out to other academics, or people in the field of human rights who may be able to help amplify her case. In short, Noura is a human rights defender that has been flagged by Canadian authorities as a national security risk<https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/welcomed-by-canada-for-defying-a-dictator-syr…>, under s.34 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. She arrived in Canada in 2017 after having advocated against the Syrian regime, being imprisoned and enduring torture for her human rights activism. She arrived at the University of Toronto with the Scholar at Risk program<https://www.utoronto.ca/news/you-cannot-defeat-me-u-t-grad-noura-al-jizawi-…>, but now faces an uncertain future and risks being separated from her 5 year old daughter and husband. If you have any ideas or contacts that you would feel comfortable sharing with me to help amplify her cause, it would be deeply appreciated. The Citizen Lab is releasing a statement of support along with a press release later today or tomorrow morning. If you feel comfortable signing on to that statement, or sharing it with your colleagues, you can find it here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jnNRiYf5tWFt0K0wqkjgj85UhkKqnvtc2F8LnFg…>. Otherwise, I can point you to the site Justice For Noura<https://wpsn-canada.org/what-we-do/letter-campaigns/justice-for-noura-aljiz…> which has more information and specific calls to action. Thank you so much for your attention to this unique and unfortunate circumstance. Sincerely, Camila Franco (B.A., B.C.L./ J.D.)
