What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

This seminar will reflect on the exclusion of women and gender from dominant approaches to dealing with the past in the north. It will discuss a specific intervention to remedy these absences and silences, namely the development of Gender Principles for Dealing with the Legacy of the Past by a network of women drawn from academia, the human rights and victims sectors. The seminar will further reflect on the opportunity to address gender more broadly in any process to deal with the past, in particular the inclusion of LGBTQ experiences and perspectives. The seminar reflects on some of the reasons why these perspectives have been so absent from the primary debate, and considers possible strategies and approaches for devising a more gender-inclusive process.

Avoiding the Colonial Trap: Reflections on the Politics of Knowledge 37:11

The COVID-19 pandemic has made historical and contemporary colonial relationships between and within States more salient. This situation is also apparent within the research process itself, adding a new dimension to pre-existing debates on positionality and the politics of knowledge production. With reference to a research project focusing on colonial legacy and Transitional Justice in Colombia, this seminar –conducted by Claire Wright– offers a series of reflections on the ways in which the pandemic has affected research inequalities between the Global North and Global South. To conclude, we look at what COVID-19 can teach us in terms of opportunities to decolonise our research.…

Climate Change, the Courts and the Rights of Children & Future Generations 47:38

۲ years پیش47:38

In this Ulster University Public Lecture, Prof Aoife Nolan discusses the role of courts in considering the rights of children and future generations in the context of the urgent global challenge presented by climate change. Children and future generations will bear the burden of environmental decisions made today. However, these non-voting groups cannot input effectively into decision-making around the environment. This lecture analyses the role that courts should adopt with regard to enforcing the constitutional rights of children and future generations in environmental protection cases. Responding to this ever-more prominent theme in child and youth-focused and driven environmental advocacy and litigation, the lecture focuses on how these groups' position ‘outside democracy’ can and should shape the courts' role when deciding whether to impose constitutional constraints on democratic decision-making in the environmental protection context. Aoife Nolan is Professor of International Human Rights Law and Co-Director of the Human Rights Law Centre at the University of Nottingham and Visiting Professor at Ulster University. Professor Nolan’s professional experience in human rights and constitutional law straddles the legal, policy, practitioner and academic fields. She is Vice-President of the Council of Europe's European Committee of Social Rights, which she joined in 2017. She has published extensively in the areas of human rights and constitutional law, particularly in relation to children's rights and economic and social rights. She currently leads a major three-year international research project on ‘Advancing Child Rights Strategic Litigation’. Professor Nolan has acted as an expert advisor to a wide range of international and national organisations and bodies working on human rights issues, including numerous UN Special Procedures, UN treaty bodies, the Council of Europe, multiple NHRIs and NGOs. She has held visiting positions at academic institutions in Europe, Africa, the US and Australia. She is an Academic Expert member at Doughty Street Chambers where she co-leads the Children’s Rights Group. Her recent work has focused on climate justice and the rights of children and future generations. In January 2021, she was invited to join the advisory board to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child on its forthcoming General Comment No.26 on children’s rights and the environment with a special focus on climate change. This event was hosted by the School of Applied Social and Policy Sciences, School of Law and Transitional Justice Institute. The event was held in the Conor Lecture Theatre, Birley Building, Ulster University, York Street, Belfast, BT15 1ED, 10th November 2023. Prof Siobhán Wills (TJI Director) chaired the lecture.…

On 26 August 2022, twenty-four UN appointed human rights experts stated that these forced closures, along with other measures ‘restricting the legitimate activities of human rights defenders,’ has resulted in ‘serious infringements of the rights to freedom of association, opinion and expression and the right to participate in public and cultural affairs, which Israel is fully obliged to fulfill, respect and protect.’ .…

The Europe Social Charter at Sixty - Social Rights webinar 1:58:59

1:58:59

We are pleased to share this recording of a conversation on the future of the European Social Charter (ESC), the main instrument protecting social rights within the Council of Europe, as well as on its relationship to the European Union.The conversation, organised by ANESC (UK and Ireland) featured two interventions. A first intervention by Prof Aoife Nolan discussed the achievements of the European Social Charter and of its monitoring body (the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR)), as well as the challenges ahead, with a particular emphasis on the Collective Complaints Mechanism which allows NGOs and unions to address situations of non-conformity to the ECSR, and on the role of civil society in the reporting mechanism of the Charter. A second intervention by Prof Olivier De Schutter explored the relationship of the ESC to the EU. While the EU has adopted the Charter of Fundamental Rights (including a set of social rights and principles) that is binding on the EU institutions and on the EU Member States in the implementation of EU law, and while the EU institutions have endorsed the European Pillar of Social Rights, the relationship of these instruments to the Council of Europe’s Social Charter and, more generally, the role of the ESC in law - and policy-making in the EU remain debated. This event, the European Social Charter at Sixty: Achievements, Challenges and Prospects for the Protection of Social Rights in Europe took place at 10-12 am. Irish Time (CET) - 10th May 2022, chaired by Ms Eleanor Sharpston, a former Advocate General to the Court of Justice of the European Union.…

Reproductive Rights at Risk - 13 Jun 2022 1:03:00

Ulster University hosted this webinar with Prof. Alison Brysk on Reproductive Rights at Risk: Gender, Religion and Nationalism in Europe and the Americas. About this event After decades of a "rising tide" of liberal modernization, abortion rights are regressing in many societies shaped by nationalism - even as their religious peers continue to legalize. We will explore the social patterns and political process of the struggle for reproductive rights in Europe and the Americas: Ireland, Poland, Argentina, Brazil and the US. As the US faces the prospect of the loss of national judicial protection for the right to abortion under Roe vs. Wade, how can the lessons of human rights scholarship and comparative experience inform reproductive rights advocacy and mobilization? Biography Alison Brysk, Mellichamp Professor of Global Governance in the Department of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, is currently Fulbright-Oxford-Pembroke Visiting Professor in Politics and International Relations. Alison is an American political scientist who has authored seven books and edited ten books on international human rights and has been a scholar and lecturer in Argentina, Australia, Ecuador, France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Japan. She has also held Fulbright Fellowships in India and Canada and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on human rights, international relations, civil society, and Latin American politics.

Mairead Enright, Official Legal Histories and Where to Find Them: The Report of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Inquiry 1:27:23

۴ years پیش1:27:23

1:27:23

Specially written histories have become an important tool in Irish state responses to ‘historical’ injustice, particularly those affecting women, their sexual, reproductive and family lives. Whatever form an inquiry takes, a ‘definitive’ history will be at its centre. Sometimes it will be authored by academic historians, though generally in collaboration with state-appointed legal advisors. Usually, it will be informed by the findings of some wider investigation, which purports to hear survivor evidence. The MBHCI Report contains the latest such history. It adapts and extends tactics also visible in predecessor reports, which dealt with abuses in industrial schools and Magdalene laundries, and obstetric violence in maternity hospitals. This paper addresses how legal histories appear in these state responses to abuse, and especially in the MBHCI Report itself. It outlines three features: (i) a simplistic account of the relationship between state and religious law (ii) uncritical reliance on past Irish law (and on limited readings of past law) as the standard against which past abuses are evaluated and (iii) strategic use of current Irish law both to control evidence-gathering processes, and police later attempts to challenge the ‘official’ history produced in the Report. The paper will focus in detail on (ii) and invite discussion of alternative models of state engagement with difficult legal inheritances.

The Grip of Sexual Violence in Conflict: Feminist Interventions in International Law, Professor Karen Engle 1:20:42

The TJI was delighted to welcome Professor Karen Engle to discuss her important new book: 'The Grip of Sexual Violence: Feminists Interventions in International Law' published by Stanford University Press (2020). The monograph traces three decades of feminist engagement with international law and institutions with a focus on how and why both feminist activism and international law became “gripped” by the issue of sexual violence in conflict. It traces the impact that women’s human rights advocates have had on international law and vice versa, concentrating on their treatment of sexual violence in conflict. It considers a variety of international institutional and legal sites and debates in which sexual violence in conflict has played a central role: those involving military intervention, international criminal law, and human peace and security. The seminar focuses in particular on these dynamics at the UN Security Council.…

Onur Bakiner, Truth Commission Impact: Insights from Recent Scholarship 1:30:54

۴ years پیش1:30:54

1:30:54

In this talk, Onur Bakiner provided an overview of the philosophical underpinnings, conceptual frames, and methodological choices informing the scholarship on truth commission impact to examine whether, how, how much, and why truth commissions influence policy, court decisions, and social norms. The findings of empirical scholarship range from partial confirmation of these bold and at times vague expectations to damning accounts of commissions’ failure to deliver. What is more, scholars have set implicit and explicit standards for what coming to terms with the past truth a truth commission should mean: building liberal democratic institutions, transforming socioeconomic, gendered and racialized hierarchies, and reflecting local values, norms and power dynamics. Especially those studies that demand attentiveness to social justice and local justice have reported disappointment with truth commissions’ achievements. Comments were provided by: Cath Collins, Professor of Transitional Justice at Ulster University and Director of the Observatorio de Justicia Transicional, Universidad Diego Portales , Chile Brandon Hamber, Professor at International Conflict Research Institute (INCORE) and John Hume and Thomas P. O'Neill Chair in Peace, Ulster University. Speaker profile Onur Bakiner is Associate Professor of Political Science at Seattle University, USA. His research and teaching interests include transitional justice, human rights, and judicial politics. His book Truth Commissions: Memory, Power, and Legitimacy (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015) investigates the role truth commissions play in contemporary societies, and was awarded the Best Book Award by the Human Rights Section of the American Political Science Association in 2017.…

This is the recording of the launch of Dr Catherine O’Rourke’s new monograph, Women’s Rights in Armed Conflict under International Law (Cambridge University Press, 2020). This event included comments from Catherine O'Rourke and Christine Bell, and featured a roundtable discussion chaired by Debora Kayembe with the following high-level experts from the fields of women's rights, conflict and international law: Madeleine Rees, Secretary-General of Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom Bandana Rana, Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) Adrian Johnson, UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Vanessa Murphy, International Committee of the Red Cross Emily Kenney, UN Women Hosted by the Transitional Justice Institute at Ulster University and the Political Settlements Research Programme at Edinburgh Law School. Women’s Rights in Armed Conflict under International Law examines the protection of women’s rights in armed conflict under international humanitarian law, international criminal law, international human rights law and the United Nations Security Council. Through a series of case studies (DRC, Colombia, Nepal) and emblematic violations, the research identifies and proposes several opportunities to strengthen the legal status of specific protections to women’s rights; to improve how key institutions comply with and implement their own guarantees of women’s rights; to improve coordination amongst key institutions; and to maximise the strengths of different monitoring and enforcement procedures in order to enhance the overall protection of women’s rights in conflict under international law. A policy brief drawn from the book is also available.…

Male Survivors of Wartime Sexual Violence: Perspectives from Northern Uganda, Dr Philipp Schulz 1:24:16

۴ years پیش1:24:16

1:24:16

In this seminar, Dr. Philipp Schulz talks about his recently launched book 'Male Survivors of Wartime Sexual Violence: Perspectives from Northern Uganda' (University of California Press), based on his doctoral research conducted at the Transitional Justice Institute in Ulster University, Northern Ireland. Although wartime sexual violence against men occurs more frequently than is commonly assumed, its dynamics are remarkably underexplored, and male survivors’ experiences remain particularly overlooked. This reality is poignant in northern Uganda, where sexual violence against men during the early stages of the conflict was geographically widespread, yet now accounts of those incidents are not just silenced and neglected locally but also widely absent from analyses of the war. Based on rare empirical data, this book seeks to remedy this marginalization and to illuminate the seldom-heard voices of male sexual violence survivors in northern Uganda, bringing to light their experiences of gendered harms, agency, and justice. 'The Ugandan men who have survived male-perpetrated wartime rape have a lot to teach us - about constructing non-oppressive masculinities, creating mutual support, and building gender-aware sustainable peace. In his ethnographically nuanced study, Philipp Schulz also charts a more grounded approach to international justice.' - Cynthia Enloe, author of The Big Push: Exposing and Challenging the Persistence of Patriarchy The book is available Open Access: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/97805203... …

Children and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, by Professor Diane Marie Amann 1:21:27

1:21:27

UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security contains more than a dozen mentions of young people; to be precise, it refers twice to “women and children” and thirteen times to “women and girls.” Since the resolution’s adoption twenty years ago, many initiatives have arisen to combat conflict-related harms to children. These include the Children and Armed Conflict Agenda launched by Security Council Resolution 1612 (2005), the Policy on Children of the International Criminal Court Prosecutor (2016), and other inter- and non-governmental efforts. This seminar will evaluate the WPS resolution, twenty years on, as a child-rights instrument. Consideration of the interim initiatives will help frame that assessment, as will evolving understandings of children’s sexual and gender identities, of children’s agency and children’s autonomy – all factors that may counsel against too-quick conjoinments of “children,” or “girls,” with “women.” Diane Marie Amann is Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center, University of Georgia School of Law. She is also Special Adviser to the International Criminal Court Prosecutor on Children in & affected by Armed Conflict. This event is part of the WPS@20 seminar hosted by the Ulster University Transitional Justice Institute to mark the upcoming 20th anniversary of the adoption of Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security by the United Nations Security Council.…
