Great and thanks!

I would hope and expect that Volker is the best HC so far given his career experience in the UN and broad field work etc. which none others had in the same measure/character (well, Sergio & Bertie did... but all too short in office).

If you have a question you'd like to ask the HC, please let me know ASAP. I am collecting some to prepare for him to address.

Best regards, John

Hi John, I will circulate to the Allard IJHR Clinic and we will join by zoom. (I inadvertently registered to attend in person). Marcia says Volker is the best UNHCHR yet. Hope all's well. Best, Nicole

Dear colleagues,

I draw your attention (and through you to your members and others) especially to the address to be delivered next Monday, 16 October, at 7-8pm ET, by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mr Volker Turk: https://www.uottawa.ca/research-innovation/hrrec/events/united-nations-high-... This is to be his only public address in Canada during his first official visit to Canada which comes almost a year to the day since he took up his mandate. His address will be livestreamed. Do share widely.

Best wishes, John
