This week IHRP students were in New York for the UNPFII Forum, where students got to meet @UN officials and Indigenous leaders, and observe the system in action. Special thanks to Cdn UN Ambassador and U of T Law alum Bob Rae for hosting us at the Canadian Mission!

IHRP is taking on a Cdn oil company’s human rights abuses in Namibia: IHRP student Erica Fox and Research Associate Nabila Khan explain more!

The devotion of @IHRP students and our partner Saving Okavango's Unique Life - SOUL to this complaint filed against Canadian oil & gas co. ReconAfrica was inspiring. Let's hope it brings about the necessary change for impacted community members in Namibia.

As an IHRP alum and former staff, I am so proud of the current cohort of staff and students who are breaking through institutionalized anti-Palestinian racism (in the form of erasure, reprisal, censorship, donor meddling) and getting back to its institutional mission.

📢A group of Canadian and Palestinian applicants including Al-Haq have commenced legal proceedings in the Federal Court against the Canadian government to stop arms exports to Israel!
Special thanks to our partners CLAIHR & IHRP

Really exciting to see IHRP acting to hold #Canada accountable for its violations of international law by selling arms to a state that the CIJ_ICJ has found is plausibly engaged in #genocide in #Gaza .

“International law ... it’s a mix of law and politics … that’s why I’m so fascinated by it.” Hear world’s leading genocide scholar William Schabas on the SA v. Israel case at the ICJ—from our event last week U of T Law: youtu.be/iibFviA0zWU.
