: Slaw.caLawyers? Rights Watch
By Simon Fodden
It seems that we’ve not yet managed to talk about Lawyers’ Rights Watch Canada on Slaw, an unfortunate omission. LRWC is a committee of lawyers who work to protect the very people — lawyers — who promote human rights around the world. In their concise summary:
LRWC seeks to identify illegal actions against advocates, campaign for the cessation of such actions and lobby for the implementation of effective immediate and long-term remedies.
They list their campaigns by country (some 50) on their website, including, I should note, Canada and six instances of what the LRWC felt to be violation of international standards here. There is a long list of relevant publications available on their site.
Take a look at this quietly worthwhile organization and consider joining. You might also want to follow them on Twitter, too.
