She was the the head of the 2017 IAGS Conference in Brisbane and also part of the GSP Editorial Team for more than three years. All members of the Editorial Board that have worked with her in the past are grateful for her contribution to the journal and the excellent work she has done on this special issue. We wanted to briefly highlight that this Special Issue has a few components that do not quite fall within the issue’s theme. However, these other submissions are well within the rubrics and topics we address in GSP, and therefore have been included in this publication. We have added a full article by Emily Willard. Based on newly declassified documents, she has reanalyzed the withdrawal of UN Peacekeepers during the Genocide in Rwanda. It has been argued that the so-called Somalia syndrome (the catastrophic outcome of the US-intervention in Somalia in October 1993) led to the reluctance of the U.S. Government regarding its involvement in Rwanda. Willard, however, argues that the political actors decided on how to act in the Rwanda case before the Somali experience. Willard disentangles the many factors and actors and creates a better understanding of these rather complex political and organizational processes. Field notes are about research practices and ideally discuss innovative approaches. In this sense, the paper of James Tyner, Andrew Curtis, Sokvisal Kimsroy, and Chhunly Chhay fits perfectly, as it constructs a geo-narrative account/analysis of the evacuation of Phnom Penh under the Khmer Rouge regime. The method featured, Spatial Video Geonarrative, confronts witnesses with filmed places of the event. This method “may trigger specific recollections and thereby contribute to a deeper, more nuanced understanding of previous experiences.” We hope to initiate a discussion on the merits and weaknesses of such an approach. Finally, Jolene Hansell’s case note discusses how Eritrean nationals bring their claim against a Canadian company that operates in Eritrea before a Canadian court. The plaintiffs argue, “their treatment as laborers (…) violates customary international law prohibitions against forced labor.” The paper sheds light on the complexities, but also on the possibilities to bring economic entities operating internationally to justice.

Hosting by the UQ Law School and the Asia- Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P Centre), the theme was Justice and Prevention of Genocide. The conference was a resounding success, attending by almost 200 scholars from around the world. Papers were delivered on topics ranging from the Armenian Genocide to the Indonesian atrocities of 1965, climate change, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), and Indigenous genocides. The latter topic was particularly relevant given the host country, Australia, and its history as a colonised land, leading to massacres of local Aboriginal populations, removal of Aboriginal children from their families,1 and ongoing inequalities between Aboriginal and other populations today. One of the keynote speakers was a local Aboriginal elder, Lilla Watson, who opened the conference at the Welcome Event. Her keynote was particularly poignant and moving, detailing the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal people, and the personal connection for her with these atrocities. Three of the other keynote speeches are included in this special issue. Alex Bellamy, Director of the R2P Centre, and foremost expert on R2P, spoke on ‘Holding Back the Tide? Human Protection and Genocide Prevention in our More Violent World’, where atrocity prevention is key in a time of global conflict. William Smith, the Deputy Co-Prosecutor of the ECCC, spoke about the different types of evidence required to prove atrocities at the ECCC, with a particular focus on the importance of the work of scholars in the field and the role they played in the trial. Robert Cribb talked about the limits of historical guilt over atrocities, with specific reference to the case of Japan in WWII and its post-war relations with the West. A screening of the film ‘Denial’ at IAGS2017 was particularly relevant and timely, given that, only two months before the conference, Holocaust denial flyers were found on the campus of UQ, as well as other Australian universities.2

  • Speech to University of Queensland Celebration Breakfast and Affirmative Action Award
    SPEECH TO UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND CELEBRATION BREAKFAST AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AWARD UNIVERSITY STAFF AND GRADUATES CLUB, STAFF HOUSE ROAD, ST LUCIA, THURSDAY, 2 MARCH 2000, 7.00 AM. Bridges and Strategies Spanning the 20th and 21st Centuries A Personal View Congratulations to the University's Senate Standing Committee on the Status of Women and its executive body, the Office of Gender Equity, for sponsoring and organising this Breakfast and the Affirmative Action Award to recognise, publicise, promote and celebrate the advancement of women at the University of Queensland. I particularly commend the Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor and Feminist of the Decade, Professor Ted Brown, for his outstanding, long term support of the Committee, both intellectually and financially. Ted's innovative perspective has helped develop a culture here at UQ which values women and their achievements. Your vision, Ted, is worthy of my Venice Beach millennium sunglasses of which even Dame Edna would be envious! The culture which now exists for women in the University of Queensland, whilst perhaps still flawed, has vastly improved since the 70s when I was a student. My formative years were passed comfortably with TV institutions like The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night at 6.30 p.m., each episode set in one of four worlds Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland or Tomorrowland. Forgive me whilst I reminisce and return to Disney's Frontierland and tell tall tales but true from the legendary past. When I commenced my law degree at UQ in 1972, lobbying by women law students had just resulted in the provision of the first dedicated women's toilets within the law faculty.

This annual tradition provides us with the opportunity to meet in celebration of the significant advocacy achievements of our students over this past year and to recognise the tremendous support of our coaches and sponsors. Through mooting our students have the opportunity to go toe to toe with other elite law schools from around the world. In 2016 the Law School entered more competitions than ever before, which allowed a record number of students to take part. The year started out in a bit of an unorthodox manner, with our ‘Pheonix’ Philip C Jessup International Law Moot team rising from the ashes of the national rounds in Canberra to compete in Washington, DC. And from there our teams were off to great heights, travelling to Jakarta, Vienna, London, and Auckland, as well as many domestic destinations. Our teams broke through to the final rounds so frequently this year that it almost became hard not to take their achievements for granted.

  • University of Queensland Pro Bono Centre
    4 November 2013 Access to Justice Productivity Commission GPO Box 1428 Canberra City ACT 2601 By email: [email protected] Dear Commissioner, Access to Justice Arrangements - Productivity Commission Issues Paper (Sept. 2013) Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission into the Productivity Commission’s Inquiry into Access to Justice Arrangements. Our submission is focused on the issues raised in Chapter 12 of the Commission’s Issues Paper, Effective and responsive legal services. We pay particular regard to the role of law students in the delivery of legal assistance services, which we note is an issue that appears to have been overlooked by the Commission when compiling its Issues Paper. The matters raised in our submission are not intended to de-value calls for increased public funding for the legal assistance sector, which we recognise is an area of acute need. We recommend that the Productivity Commission: 1. considers the cost and value of embedding clinical teaching within curricula at all Australian law schools; 2. considers a strategy to develop a sustainable funding matrix for clinical legal education to be offered by all Australian law schools; 3. recognises the value of law student involvement in the delivery of pro bono legal services. UQ Pro Bono Centre The UQ Pro Bono Centre (the Centre) was established in 2009 as a partnership of the TC Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland. The Centre’s primary function is to provide clinical legal education and pro bono learning opportunities for law students. In fulfilling this role the Centre seeks to build a positive culture of, and a commitment to, pro bono legal service both amongst staff and students of the law school.
