Entitled 'Turbans, Trade and Terrorism: Are Human Rights the Answer?', Professor Hurst Hannum, the newly-appointed Sir Y K Pao Chair Professor in Public Law, will give his views on whether the modern human rights norms, which were developed over 50 years ago, are still relevant to the problems the world is facing today, like religious extremism and intolerance, impacts arising from the expanding free trade, and challenges of transnational terrorism.
Professor Hannum is a most eminent academic in human rights, international relations and public international law. He is the co-author of International Human Rights: Problems of Law, Policy, and Practice (4th ed. 2006); Autonomy, Sovereignty, and Self-Determination: The Accommodation of Conflicting Rights (rev. ed. 1996); and numerous articles in professional journals. He is also editor of Negotiating Self-Determination (2006) and Guide to International Human Rights Practice (4th ed. 2004).
He has also held consultancies with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and UN Department of Political Affairs, and worked with many inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations in Indonesia, Western Sahara, Kashmir, East Timor, Sri Lanka, Spain and the Caucasus. Coming from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Professor Hannum’s expertise spans across the field of law and international relations. He is the Co-Director of the Centre for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution of Fletcher since 2000.
