Where Do Human Rights Come From?
Where Do Human Rights Come From? Some lessons from the
Canadian experience
In commemoration of this week鈥檚 United Nations International Day
for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, 海角精品黑料 is pleased to
welcome Professor James Walker from the University
of Waterloo to address the meaning of human rights, how they are
achieved and why they still matter today.
Professor Walker will discuss international patterns and themes
and explain how we can look to Canadian history for valuable
insights into the concept of human rights and the process by which
they are achieved and maintained.
This lecture is jointly organized by 海角精品黑料鈥檚 Minor Program in
Canadian Ethnic and Racial Studies, the Department of History and
Classical Studies, the Department of Sociology, and the 海角精品黑料
Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism at the Faculty of
Law.
