Please join us for the April 21 evening lecture at RMIT city campus: "International justice and human rights: where to next?" by world-renowned human rights activist and leader, Dr Simon Adams, Professor of Human Rights at Murdoch University.
We are witnessing multiple crises play out across the globe involving threats and challenges to the principles and institutions of hashtag#internationallaw and hashtag#humanrights - armed conflicts, authoritiarianism on the rise, and the advent of the AI age. Over decades, Dr Adams has helmed several prominent human rights organisations - including the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect and Center for Victims of Torture in New York.
In this public lecture, Dr Adams who has recently returned home to Australia will offer his reflections on the current state of human rights and the international rules-based order, and what the future may hold for these anchors of the post-WW2 world.
