At a time of great geopolitical upheavals, Penn Law's engagement with transnational leaders has helped strengthen our students’ shared commitments to multilateralism, strong international institutions, and diversity in leadership. In an age of intense inquiry of equal representation of gender and race in global decision- making, these portraits and perspectives showcase a few of the global voices that have influenced Penn Law's inclusive vision of global justice.

  • The Un World Conference Against Racism: a Racist Anti-Racism Conference
    THE UN WORLD CONFERENCE AGAINST RACISM: A RACIST ANTI-RACISM CONFERENCE by Anne Bayefsky INTRODUCTION The World Conference Against Racism (Conference) became a forum for racism. Human rights was used as a weapon of political interests antithetical to human rights protection. Durban challenged nongovernmental human rights organizations, permitted to be more closely connected to a world conference than ever before, and states alike, to clarity of purpose and position on fundamental principles, racism, its definition and its defeat. Jewish nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and the state of Israel as the embodiment of the self-determination of the Jewish people, would undoubtedly have preferred not to be the testing ground of their resolve. They had come to Durban to join the global effort to eradicate racism in all its forms. But they were singled out, and forced to leave as the only victims' voices deleted, and the only state condemned. This outcome totally eclipses what might be called the limited success of others byway of selected textual provisions, or opportunities for networking, particularly in view of the abundance of existing anti-racism legal standards and mechanisms. The intervening six months have been a time of denial and cover-up, with frequent assertions that the media distorted events or entreaties to consider the glass half-full. The disservice to die human rights cause could not be more fundamental. The system of international human rights protection is rooted in the equality of humankind and it will founder on the exclusion of the Jew, just as the system of international peace and security is premised on the equality of all nations large and small and will founder on the exclusion of the Jewish state.

  • For This Sydney Model, “Peace Is the New Black”
    For this Sydney Model, “Peace is the New Black” MEDIA RELEASE Thursday, 1st September 2011 September 21 marks the 30th anniversary of the United Nations International Day of Peace, a global initiative to commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples. Hailed by the United Nations’ Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon as “our highest calling”, peace is also one of humanity’s most precious needs. Knowing the power of a pretty smile, Australian plus-size model and Goodwill Ambassador for the Sydney Peace Foundation, Elizabeth Green, is lending her beauty and her brains to the cause of peace. Despite having landed a highly sought after contract with premier New York modelling agency Ford Models, Green has returned to Sydney where she has completed Masters level studies in International Relations and works with the Sydney Peace Foundation to keep crucial conversations about peace and justice in-vogue. Asked why her involvement, Green said that she is determined to show peace isn’t just the preserve of diplomats at the United Nations. “On a personal level, peace is what happens when we treat each other with dignity and respect. “Having lived and worked in far corners of the globe spanning Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia, I have seen that the true character of a society is determined by how it relates to those most vulnerable: that is, its children, the mentally ill, the unemployed and destitute, the refugees seeking asylum from persecution and war. If we respond to these injustices with compassion and commitment then almost every Australian could go about the business of peace-making on a daily basis.” Green continues in the tradition of former Australian fashion pioneers, amongst them Dr.

  • Freedom of Opinion and Expression and Academic Freedom 9:00-10:00 A.M
    Side Event Freedom of Opinion and Expression and Academic Freedom 9:00-10:00 a.m. EST 22 October 2020 CONCEPT NOTE Click here to join the webinar Co-organizers: ● UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression ● Permanent Mission of Finland to the UN ● Permanent Mission of the State of Qatar to the UN ● Open Society Foundations’ Education Program ● Scholars at Risk Context On 23 October 2020 the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly will consider the report on academic freedom presented by the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. The report focuses on the ways in which the freedom of opinion and expression protect and promote academic freedom, and the special role played by academics and academic institutions in democratic society when assured of institutional autonomy and self-governance. Without academic freedom, societies lose their capacity for self-reflection, for knowledge generation and for a constant search for improvements of people’s lives and social conditions. Drawing on examples from all regions of the world, the report highlights the repression and harassment of scholars and students, unlawful restrictions on freedom of opinion and expression that interfere with research, teaching, debate and discussion by the academic community in their institutions or in other fora, and various measures, from funding of research to hiring of professors and administrators, that are used to erode and attack the autonomy of academic institutions. The report provides clear guidance on the scope of academic freedom, recognizing that it is protected by a wide range of human rights norms and principles, including the right to freedom of opinion and expression.

    SPIEGEL ONLINE - Druckversion - Quiet Revolution: Can Globalization... http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,druck-605813,00.html 02/10/2009 03:13 PM Quiet Revolution Can Globalization Help Women out of Traditional Roles? By Barbara Supp Women are becoming high-level managers in Europe, entrepreneurs in Asia and mechanics in Africa. The more globalization changes the world, the more it liberates women from traditional roles. But what are they doing with the opportunity? Sandra Aguebor fell in love with a black machine and oil, and for an entire week she dreamed of repairing cars. She woke up one morning at 4 o'clock and told her father and mother about her dream. They told her to forget about it. But even after she turned 14, Sandra continued to pester her father. She was born in Benin City, Nigeria, and there had never been a mechanic in the family, which supported itself by farming a small plot of land. Sandra became the first woman to work as an auto mechanic in Nigeria, she says. She also learned to train other women to be mechanics, calling her project the "Lady Mechanic Initiative." Now she's come to Deauville to talk about it. Aguebor, a dynamic woman in jeans and a bright yellow T-shirt, stands out among the 1,100 women in Deauville. Not many look as though they had ever felt engine oil on their hands. Late last year, a global conference called the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society met in Deauville, a resort town in northern France.

Introduction 1. Since the Nakba in 1948, Israel has instituted and designed a series of discriminatory laws, policies, and practices that constitute the legal foundation of its institutionalised regime of systematic dispossession, fragmentation, racial domination, and oppression over the Palestinian people as a whole, including Palestinians on both side of the Green Line and Palestinian refugees and exiles abroad.1 This regime, which ultimately aims to deprive the Palestinian people of their inalienable rights, including their right to self-determination, amounts to inter alia the crime of apartheid under international law.2 2. A core element of the crime of apartheid is the intention of maintaining the regime.3 One of the methods of achieving this is by silencing opposition to its widespread and systematic human rights violations committed against the Palestinian people, through intimidation and institutionalised

  • A Human Rights Scandal: Violence Against Women
    AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL External Document A human rights scandal: Violence against women Speech delivered by Irene Khan Secretary General, Amnesty International International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, 25 November 2003 Bern, Switzerland Whenever I think of violence against women, what immediately comes to my mind are the faces and stories of women, some too painful to repeat, others too inspiring to forget. I know we must speak of treaties and laws, policies and practice, implementation and evaluation, but for me first and foremost must come the women themselves, their courage, commitment and conviction. Who is affected? I remember the young Vietnamese girl who I met in Thailand and Malaysia 23 years ago when I was working as a lawyer for UNHCR. I heard their stories of how they escaped Vietnam by boat but were attacked, abducted and raped by pirates. Hundreds of girls disappeared. The ones I met were lucky -- they had been accepted for resettlement in western countries. They wanted to put their pain behind them and begin a new life -- but when they spoke to me months after the pirate incidents, their eyes were still downcast, their voices broken with trauma, their faces turned away from me as though in shame and guilt, although they had nothing to be guilty or ashamed about. I remember Jamila, a 16-year-old Afghan girl whom I met in the women's prison in Kabul in July this year. The prison was full of women accused of adultery, of running away from brutal husbands or of wanting to marry the men of their choice.
