GLOBAL GENERATIONS:

*Registration not required*

The Canadian Lawyers Association for International Human Rights (CLAIHR) was established to protect human rights internationally through the use of law and legal institutions. Since its incorporation by University of Ottawa law graduates in 1992, CLAIHR has worked in partnership with legal and human rights bodies in over 20 developing countries to analyse laws, institutions and practices affecting human rights. We contribute by developing and strengthening laws and institutions that protect human rights, promoting awareness of human rights issues within the legal community, and supporting lawyers, legal organizations and others dedicated to achieving human rights in those countries.

On February 17, 2006, CLAIHR U of O Chapter will be hosting the 2^nd Annual Global Generations Conference. Established last year, the Global Generations Conference provides excellent opportunities for intellectual bridging between some of Canada's brightest legal minds, and also effectively brings together students from across different universities and professionals together. The aim of the Global Generations Conference is for students with an interest in international human rights to have an opportunity to share their research with their colleagues and the wider human rights community.

Our Keynote opening speech will be delivered by

Major Jean Michel Cambron,

Training Directorate of the Office of the Canadian Forces Judge Advocate General

He will be presenting on

"Operational Challenges of a Deployed Legal Advisor: The IHL Dimension."

Please see his biography for more information.

This year, we have presenters coming from various law schools, including McGill University, University of Western Ontario, University of Manitoba, Queen's University and University of Ottawa. This conference was a great success last year and we are certain that this year will be just as successful if not more so!

This is an all day event (9:00 am to 5:00 pm) held at the University of Ottawa, Fauteux Hall (FTX) Room 147. The address is 57 Louis Pasteur St. • Ottawa • K1N 6N5. A reception will follow from 5- 6 pm. One of our goals this year is to increase opportunities to connect students with various human rights organizations and professionals. To help facilitate this, we will also be holding a Public Interest Information Session in conjunction with the Conference. Please see
