The organising committee is pleased to invite you to the opening session of the Human Rights and Global Justice Conference. This interdisciplinary conference brings together key scholars, practitioners and activists from around the world to explore the interrelationship between globalisation, human rights and social justice. The Conference addresses the impact of the emergent discourse of new global social policy on the future of human rights and the need for human rights law and jurisprudence to be informed by contrasting perspectives of globalising agencies and resistance movements. The opening public panel will highlight and discuss some key themes to be explored during the course of the conference.
