  • Speaker's Report
    July 2005 Issue A report of activities from Senator Dan Hays ear Readers, D A great deal has happened since my last newsletter, particularly the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia. In fact, I witnessed the tragic consequences of this natural disaster first-hand in March when I paid an official visit to Indonesia. What was obvious to me, and Canadians in general, was the unprecedented level of destruction, but what was less-so was the triumph of the human spirit. From the students in dilapidated university dorms, to the family living in temporary shelter, to the children coping with their losses, I was moved by the resilience of the Indonesian people and by their ability to cope in the most difficult circumstances. Inside, you will find a brief glimpse of that visit, among the many others my diplomatic responsibility calls on me to do. Parliamentary diplomacy is one of my roles as Speaker of the Senate, and one I take very seriously. Moreover, as an Alberta senator, I believe this role also involves my province. Since my appointment as Speaker, I have always looked for ways to bring Alberta to the world and the world to Alberta. Accordingly, while over the last few years, I have had the honour to proudly represent Canada in more than 30 countries, I have also taken great pride in bringing delegations of parliamentarians from across the world to my hometown of Calgary. Indeed, delegates from Southeast Asia, to Europe, to the Middle East, to South America, and points in between, have all had the chance to see this great province and this great city.

  • 1 Complaint to the Senate of Cambodia First Commission On
    Complaint to the Senate of Cambodia First Commission on Human Rights, Reception of Complaints and Investigation Regarding the Criminalization of Defamation February 2014 The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) wishes to draw the attention of the First Commission of the Senate of Cambodia on Human Rights, Reception of Complaints and Investigation (the “Commission”) to a matter of grave importance in relation to the protection and the promotion of human rights in the Kingdom of Cambodia (“Cambodia”), in particular with regards to the right to freedom of expression. We ask the Commission to give due consideration to the following complaint regarding the unconstitutionality of the criminalization of defamation and public insult, and to take all appropriate action within its competence to promote the decriminalization of defamation and public insult in accordance with the following submissions and recommendations. This Complaint is written by CCHR, a non-aligned, independent, non-governmental organization (“NGO”) that works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights – primarily civil and political rights – throughout Cambodia. Introduction In accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations (the “UN”), as elaborated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the “UDHR”), recognition of the equal and inalienable rights of all human beings is an essential foundation for freedom, justice and peace. Amongst these inalienable rights is the right to freedom of expression, including free and open debate regarding matters of public interest, which is a necessary condition for the realization of the principles of transparency and accountability that are, in turn, essential for the promotion and protection of human rights and democracy.
