Fighting for Climate Justice in The Hague: Payam Akhavan
It's the world's most prominent climate case in history. Iranian-Canadian human rights lawyer Payam Akhavan discusses the legal arguments he made before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on behalf of Bangladesh and small island states. The hearings seek to establish the legal obligations of states to mitigate climate change and the damage done by it — and the legal consequences for states which don’t fulfil those obligations.

The fight for ‘climate change reparations’
The most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is scathing: it lays out the stark divide between rich and poor nations’ ability to withstand global warming’s worst effects. This, just months after COP26 in Glasgow, where many delegates and activists were asking rich nations most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions to pay for the losses and damages that many developing nations are already experiencing from climate change. Demands for a specific compensation fund were not met. Today, Canadian human rights lawyer Payam Akhavan is here to explain how some small island nations are looking at how they...

"Human Rights in the Global Age" by Payam Akhavan
Following the unprecedented horrors of the Second World War, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. What is the historical and moral significance of this Declaration in the Global Age? What does it mean to say that dignity is "inherent" to human nature, and how can this assertion be reconciled with the greed and aggression that characterizes politics? How can humankind transcend divisive ideologies and religious conflicts in order to build a just and unified world order? In the shadow of catastrophic climate change, do we need to go beyond human rights to save our civilization...

Payam Akhavan presents "The One World Virus : Pandemics Solidarity & Social Imagination"
Payam Akhavan has encountered the grim realities of contemporary genocide throughout his life and career. He argues that deceptive utopias, political cynicism, and public apathy have given rise to major human rights abuses: from the religious persecution of Iranian Bahá’ís that shaped his personal life, to the horrors of ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia, the genocide in Rwanda, and the rise of contemporary phenomena such as the Islamic State. In the context of the current pandemic, Payam Akhavan will share examples of the inspiring resilience of the human spirit in times of suffering and how embracing the reality of our inex...

Reimagine Church: Outsiders Inside
Reimagine Church: Outsiders Inside --- Acts Chapter 10 is a key moment in the life of the Church. Cornelius encounters an Angel and Peter a vision. Peter is sent to Cornelius to proclaim the Gentiles are part of the promise, and in that moment the Gentiles receive the same gift of the Holy Spirit. What is happening here is a new understanding of family. This is all initiated by God, not Peter’s good ideas. How is the Church to love with the vision of people from all tribes, nations, and tongues, being brought together in Christ. ---

Media and the Search for Criminal Evidence: Learning from the (non-) cooperation between journalists and international criminal tribunals
Second panel in the Innovative Media for Change in Transitional Justice conference, A Debate between Journalists, Academics and Practitioners on Transitional Justice, Media and Conflict held on 22-23 June 2015. It is well known that open sources and in particular journalistic sources can play a key role in providing information on the commission of international crimes and as such are relevant to the work of International Criminal Tribunals (ICTs). When it comes to gathering and disclosing information, however, the relationship between media and ICTs becomes complicated: On the one hand, investigators and prosecutors may need open sources and journalistic information to...
