The Arab Law Students Association of McGill

and the McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism

are happy to invite you to a lecture...

by Hina Jilani, leading human rights lawyer and Member of the Goldstone Commission:

Ms. Hina Jilani is Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and was the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Human Rights Defenders from 2000 to 2008. She has fought for human rights for over 30 years, especially in the areas of the rights of women, minorities, children and prisoners. She is internationally recognized for her expertise in critical human rights investigations.

Ms. Jilani will provide a first-hand account of the Gaza Mission, its methodology, and the challenges it faced in carrying out its mandate. She will address the Mission's findings of violations of international humanitarian and human rights law by Israeli and Palestinian parties, and the potential of international law to ensure accountability for victims of the conflict.

This lecture aims to promote an understanding of the context, contribution, and significance of the Goldstone Report, an unprecedented legal document in the history of the region that is rapidly gaining international attention through endorsement by the Human Rights Council and the UN General Assembly.

Please join the ALSA and the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism for Ms. Hina Jilani?s lecture. A question and answer period will follow.
