From Local to Global: Mobilizing for Human Rights Through International Mechanisms

Learn from one of Canada’s leading human rights voices.

This teach-in will unpack the international human rights system— from UN treaty bodies to the Universal Periodic Review— and show how local voices can shape global outcomes. Together, we’ll explore coalition-building in Canada, demystify the UN process, and spark pathways for action.

Networking and a light lunch will follow the teach-in.

This event is a collaboration with Dr. Andy Knight, Dr. Dominique Clément, Dr. Temitope Oriola and the Edmonton Japanese Community Association.
