Dear colleagues,

I trust this finds you well in these troubling (and busy) times.

I am addressing you with regard to the following two matters:

Wrt the request from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights request to join CAHRI, I have received a handful of positive responses and no negative reactions to my suggestion that CMHR be offered a qualified membership of CAHRI (in the status of “Observer” or “Associate” without voting rights for CAHRI decisions). If I hear no definite negative reaction from CAHRI members by end of 31 October, I will convey to the CMHR a positive response to their request (as qualified – for which I understand they are entirely positively disposed).

Wrt the next issue of the Canadian Yearbook of Human Rights (CYHR), Vol. IV (2022-2023, to be published summer 2024), we are still accepting unsolicited articles for the General Section (addressing any issue of human rights in or relating to Canada: https://www.uottawa.ca/research-innovation/hrrec/news/call-papers-canadian-yearbook-human-rights#:~:text=Submissions%20will%20be%20reviewed%20on,Publication%20section%20of%20our%20website ) and we remain interested in unpublished documentation of broad significance (including original materials/official documentation or summaries of conferences etc.). Submissions and suggestions are welcome: CHRY@uOttawa.ca

Thanks for your attention!

Best regards,

John
