2/1ISA in the World: Scholar-Practitioner Interactions in the Global South
ISA in the World: Scholar-Practitioner Interactions in the Global South
Wednesday, February 1st, 202311:00 AM - 12:30 PMOtherOnline
As in other areas of International Relations, the study of interactions between academia and the practitioner world, related to state policymaking, NGOs, IGOs, civil society activism, the private sector, or the media, is based on experiences located primarily in the global North. This conversation between scholars located in and working on distinct sites in the global South seeks to examine the ways in which scholar-practitioner relations unfold in settings outside the North, the potential drivers and obstacles to meaningful exchange, and the existing standards of scholarly “relevance” or “impact” that exist in diverse parts of the world.
This conversation is co-sponsored by New America’s Planetary Politics Initiative.Contact Information: sdorr@isanet.org More

2/1Community Dialogue on Solar Energy & Electro-Mobility: Opportunities & Challenges for a Just Energy Transition in Connecticut
Community Dialogue on Solar Energy & Electro-Mobility: Opportunities & Challenges for a Just Energy Transition in Connecticut
Wednesday, February 1st, 202312:00 PM - 01:30 PMStorrs CampusHeritage Room (HBL 4-214) & online
Clean energy has become one of the key strategies to mitigate and reduce the effects of climate change, reduce oil dependency, improve the quality of our environment, and reduce household expenses on energy. However, the benefits from energy production and distribution have not been equally experienced by all communities. And the negative social and environmental consequences have not been equally shouldered. The clean energy transition may be an opportunity to redress some of those inequalities.
Please join us for an event aimed at fostering dialogue among community representatives, researchers, and policymakers interested in the equity implications of solar energy and electric mobility. Together, we’ll explore the sustainability and human rights challenges and opportunities that the clean energy revolution might bring to these sectors. We’ll focus, in particular, on the situation of historically underserved communities in Connecticut.
Faculty members from the University of Connecticut’s School of Engineering and Human Rights Institute will share their research and all participants will engage in active discussion. In-person and hybrid options for participation are available.

2/1Exhibition Reception: Madeline Baird on 'Embodied Borders'
Exhibition Reception: Madeline Baird on 'Embodied Borders'
Wednesday, February 1st, 202303:00 PM - 04:30 PMStorrs CampusLounge / The Dodd Center for Human Rights
About This Event:
We welcome you to join us for a closing reception to celebrate and discuss the most recent exhibition in the hall of The Dodd Center for Human Rights with the photographer. Madeline Baird's 'Embodied Borders' reveals the human toll of the exportation of U.S. border enforcement through a series of captivating photographs.
Madeline Baird is a PhD student in Anthropology at UConn. Prior to enrolling at UConn, Madeline earned an MSc from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and worked for a decade supporting public health program design and community-based research. Her current research employs ethnographic methods to explore constructions of health inequity, human rights, and healing in Latin America.
About the Exhibition:
In recent decades, the extension of U.S. immigration and border enforcement policies to countries in Central America increasingly pressures migrant populations seeking refuge in the U.S. to travel the most remote and dangerous passages to the U.S.-Mexico border. In 2022, more than 200,000 migrants traversed the Darien Gap known to be one of the most dangerous sections of the journey through Central America. This series of photographs documents the embodied impact of the exportation of U.S. border enforcement 2,500 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border for migrants in transit through Panama.
We're thrilled to have the support of numerous co-sponsors including the Department of Anthropology, El Instituto, the Research Program on Arts & Human Rights, and the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center (PRLACC).
Join us! This event is in-person only in the lounge of The Dodd Center for Human Rights. You can find more information at http://s.uconn.edu/embodied-borders-exhibition-reception
Light snacks & refreshments will be served.
No registration is necessary. All are welcome!Contact Information: humanrights@uconn.edu More

Thursday, February 2nd, 202311:00 AM - 12:00 PMOtherVirtual
Sustainability of the Global Order and the Human Rights Jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice (ICJ)
Hosted by the Connecticut/Baden-Wuerttemberg Human Rights Research Consortium
Thursday, February 2, 2023
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern
Virtual Event
About this Event:
In my presentation, I will discuss the role of human rights in the jurisprudence of the ICJ as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. The Court does not decide disputes between states and individuals, but interstate disputes where the applicant claims that the respondent has perpetrated serious violations of international human rights law. This happens in particular in situations of armed conflict, where the Court usually does not have jurisdiction to decide on the legality of the use of force. The Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) was invoked by Georgia and by Ukraine against the Russian Federation, and by Armenia and Azerbaijan against each other. The Genocide Convention has been the legal basis for the Court’s jurisdiction in the cases Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia, Croatia v. Serbia and The Gambia v. Myanmar. In the recent case Ukraine v. Russian Federation on ‘Allegations of Genocide’, the applicant invoked the Genocide Convention in reverse: Ukraine argued that Russia had wrongfully claimed that Ukraine had perpetrated genocide in the region of Donbass in order to legitimize the invasion of 24 February 2022. In the case Qatar v. United Arab Emirates, the Court disconnected the CERD from migration policies and ruled that the Convention was not applicable in instances of differential treatment based on current citizenship. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Uganda case, the Court formulated for the first time in its jurisprudence the applicable principles and practices for the award of war reparations. Human rights law has taken center stage in the ICJ jurisprudence. The Court decides taking into account the geopolitical environment, the function of the United Nations to preserve and restore international peace and security and the effectiveness of its judgments. In this sense, the relevant jurisprudence defines the fundamental principles of world order.

2/7A Source of Escalation or a Source of Restraint? Whether and How Civil Society Affects Mass Killings
A Source of Escalation or a Source of Restraint? Whether and How Civil Society Affects Mass Killings
Tuesday, February 7th, 202302:00 PM - 03:30 PMStorrs CampusDodd Center for Human Rights - Room 162
In this Human Rights Research and Data Hub Workshop, Dr. Evan Perkoski will present his research on state-led mass killings. Why do some state-led mass killings end quickly while others endure for over a decade? And why do some states murder millions of constituents during the course of mass killings, whereas other states seem to retreat from the brink after killing hundreds? A large body of work has focused on the important role played by civil society and non-governmental actors in initiating different forms of rescue, evasion, and assistance in the midst of different cases of mass killings, as well as the political pressure they have applied in bringing about the ends of civil conflicts. Despite many inspiring and hopeful cases of collective action under systems of intense repression, other research finds civil society can accelerate or exacerbate mass killings. In this paper, we test some basic mechanisms that emerge from the literature on the connection between civil society and mass killings, and we find that a complex albeit meaningful relationship exists. We find that, in general, a relatively participatory and autonomous civil society is correlated with shorter mass killings. However, we also find that active civil societies are associated with higher rates of lethality, particularly when those civil society sectors exist in highly unequal polities. Because most mass killings are relatively short, our findings suggest that civil societies in states with uneven access to power are more commonly correlated with longer, deadlier spells of government violence. This conclusion seemingly supports the view of civil society skeptics, at least in highly unequal contexts where mass killings have already begun.
This event is hybrid in modality. We welcome you to join us in the Dodd Center for Human Rights, Room 162, or online by Zoom. We kindly ask that you register to attend in either modality.

The Encounters Dialogue Facilitator Training
If we all looked the same, acted the same, did the same things, the world might not be as interesting of a place.
Yet, why do our differences seem so often to be more important than our similarities?
Why is it so difficult to talk about our differences and to think past them?
In our current historical moment of great polarization, why is it important for leaders to model and promote dialogue?
Want to learn more about the theory and practice of being a good dialogue facilitator?
Join us as we explore these questions and, in so doing, learn something about the power of dialogue to build connections across difference.
Through the Democracy and Dialogues Initiative, UConn is working to increase democratic and civic capacity by supporting community dialogues on critical issues, providing moderator and facilitation training for dialogues and deliberations, and partnering with campus colleagues and local institutions to increase meaningful participation by all community members.

The New Israeli Government & Human Rights: Conversation with Human Rights Watch's Israel & Palestine Director
Monday, February 13th, 202312:15 PM - 01:15 PMStorrs CampusOnlineIn 2022, Palestinians faced in many respects peak levels of repression by Israeli authorities, including years-long highs in killings in the West Bank, numbers held in administrative detention without trial or charge, and unprecedented moves to shutter prominent civil society organizations. And that's before the most right-wing government in Israel's history came to power. What does the rise of this new government mean for human rights in Israel and Palestine? Join us for a conversation with Human Rights Watch's Israel and Palestine Director, Omar Shakir.

2/22Israel’s national security strategy at 75: How successful?
Israel’s national security strategy at 75: How successful?
Wednesday, February 22nd, 202312:15 PM - 01:15 PMStorrs CampusOnlineIsrael is today an established, prosperous and fundamentally secure state, but continues to face severe threats from rockets, missiles and cyber, even an existential danger posed by Iran’s nuclear program. Moreover, Israel’s new hardline government may lead to a crisis in relations with the US and Abraham Accords states and exacerbate the growing processes of international delegitimization. A conflict with Hamas, Palestinians in the West Bank and potential escalation to include Hezbollah are likely.
Chuck Freilich, a former deputy Israeli national security adviser, now an adjunct professor at Columbia and Tel Aviv Universities, will present an authoritative analysis of Israel’s national security strategy, based on his award-winning book: "Israeli National Security: a New Strategy for an Era of Change" (Oxford Press, 2018) the most comprehensive study to date in this field.
