SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Activating Human Rights and
Peace



An International Conference

1-4 July 2008

Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre,

Byron Bay NSW, Australia



"I welcome the conference on Activating Human Rights and
Peace that the Centre for Peace and Social Justice of Southern Cross
University is hosting between 1-4 July 2008. It is easy to talk about
human rights and peace.  Forests of trees are destroyed in the
documentation dealing with these subjects.  However, activating
them and translating aspirations into reality is the real challenge
for our species and our world.  A meeting devoted to translating
ideas into action will be well timed in mid-2008.  I hope that
there will be a strong attendance with many notions to challenge the
mind and to inspire action."

- Justice Michael Kirby, Patron, Centre for Peace and Social
Justice.
