From Local to Global: Mobilizing for Human Rights Through International Mechanisms with Alex Neve

Learn from Alex Neve, one of Canada’s leading human rights voices.

This teach-in will unpack the international human rights system— from UN treaty bodies to the Universal Periodic Review— and show how local voices can shape global outcomes. Together, we’ll explore coalition-building in Canada, demystify the UN process, and spark pathways for action.

Networking and a light lunch will follow the teach-in.'s conclusion at noon.
