Civil Society at Risk? Three International Perspectives
(Veuillez prendre en note le changement de salle)
Le Centre pour les droits de la personne et le pluralisme juridique, en collaboration avec , vous convie 脿 une conf茅rence sur les risques auxquels fait face la soci茅t茅 civile.
Les libert茅s d'expression, d'association et de r茅union pacifique sont fondamentales aux activit茅 des organisations de la soci茅t茅 civile. Ils amplifient les voix des groupes de la soci茅t茅 civile, dont beaucoup travaillent avec les personnes marginalis茅s et vuln茅rables. Mais leur travail de promotion et de d茅fense des droits de la personne en font la cible d'attaques politiques. La d茅fense mondiale des droits des migrants et des minorit茅s, et ceux qui les opposent, font la manchette au Canada et aux 脡tats-Unis ces derniers mois. Comment pouvons-nous 茅laborer une r茅ponse fond茅e sur des principes qui respectebt la soci茅t茅 civile, tout en soutenant une approche progressive des droits de la personne?
