Release of Workshop Proceedings & Working Papers on Chronological Age Discrimination
 

In November 2022, HRP convened more than two dozen experts for a virtual workshop about discrimination on the basis of chronological age. Academics from a variety of disciplines and experts from regional and international human rights bodies gathered to discuss topics such as voting rights for children, the difference between indirect and direct age discrimination, and varying cultural contexts regarding age discrimination.

You can consult the complete workshop proceedings and working papers on the HRP website.

Impossible Choices
- A conversation between Anjan Sundaram and Ashish Dikshit -


Wednesday, April 19, 2023
5:30 p.m.
Milstein West B, Wasserstein Hall
Harvard Law School

 

In this upcoming public event, co-hosted by metaLAB (at) Harvard, the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism, and the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School, metaLAB Affiliate and TED Fellow Anjan Sundaram will be in conversation with BBC editor and Nieman Fellow Ashish Dikshit about the personal costs that journalists and frontline war correspondents pay, and the common but underexpressed tension between public service work and the toll it takes on one’s personal life. The conversation will touch upon Anjan Sundaram’s new book, Breakup: A Marriage in Wartime, in which he describes how, after ten years of reporting from central Africa for The New York Times and The Associated Press, word arrives of preparations for ethnic cleansing in the Central African Republic. He is suddenly torn between his duty as a husband and father, and his moral responsibility to report on a conflict largely unseen by the world.

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP on the event page.

Ibrahim Provides Insights into Ethiopia's Transitional Justice Efforts
 

In recent weeks, HRP Associate Director Abadir M. Ibrahim was asked to comment on Ethiopia's ongoing transitional justice efforts by Deutsche Welle and the New Humanitarian. In the article in the New Humanitarian, Ibrahim expresses doubts that Ethiopian government officials will “subject themselves to a process that will reveal their human rights violations and then possibly even end up in their prosecution”. Ibrahim joined Deutsche Welle for an audio-only expert discussion in Amharic about the country's transitional justice process.
