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.
