"Labor, Tea and Fair Trade in India"
Sarah Besky, PhD Candidate, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Wednesday February 29 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm | JGH 103
The overwhelming majority of Indian tea is grown and processed on plantations. Most of these plantations date from the British colonial period, and the organization of labor and production has changed little since that time. Tea is still picked by hand, overwhelmingly by women, and processed in small factories that sit on plantation land. Plantation workers normally reside on plantations and rely upon management not only for wages but also for food rations, medicine, and housing. Though unions and regional political organizations have had some success in expanding workers’ rights, legal protections for Indian tea workers continue to erode.
Sarah’s dissertation, “The Darjeeling Distinction: Changing Agricultural Practice, Regimes of Value, and Visions of Justice,” investigates the “empowerment” of farm workers, the connections of products to places, and fair trade and organic certification in the Indian tea industry. She is interested in how debates about labor standards, taste, rights to place, and the legacies of colonialism have informed both the production of boutique tea and the revitalization of the Gorkhaland agitation, a movement lead by Indian Nepalis for a separate state that would encompass Darjeeling and its tea plantations. Starting in fall 2012, Sarah will be a postdoctoral fellow in the University of Michigan Society of Fellows.

"Doing Human Rights in Israel and the OPT" a discussion with Bill Van Esveld, Middle East & North Africa Division, Human Rights Watch
Monday February 13 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm | JG 107
HRI invites you to a lunch time discussion with Bill Van Esveld, senior researcher with the Middle East & North Africa Division of Human Rights Watch. "Human rights" is not perceived as a neutral term by many participants in the Israeli / Arab conflict. At a time of uncertainty in the region, authorities are not only suspicious of human rights groups' claims to be politically neutral, but are explicitly targeting NGOs as foreign agents. How can international rights organizations counter these efforts to politicize and neutralize their work? Bill will discuss recent developments in the relations between local and international human rights organizations and the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Israel.
Bill is a senior researcher in the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch. Since joining HRW as a fellow in 2007, Bill has conducted field research and written reports on human rights and laws-of-war violations in Western Sahara, Algeria, the UAE, and Egypt; since 2008 he has covered abuses by all parties in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. He has appeared in print, television and radio news media, including the NY Times, CNN, and NPR, and has published numerous opinion pieces. Bill is a graduate of NYU law school and member of the NY bar.

"Law, Development, and the Extractive Industries"
Patrick Heller, Legal Advisor, Revenue Watch Institute
October 24 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm | JG 105
In many countries that produce oil or minerals, the large revenues these industries generate has done little to promote meaningful long-term national development. The extractive industries have also been associated with corruption, conflict, and environmental degradation. In recent years the challenges of extractive industry management have become a subject of significant attention both within resource-rich countries and internationally. Patrick Heller is a legal advisor at the Revenue Watch Institute, which works with citizens and governments to promote accountability, fiscal responsibility, and an equitable balance of financial benefits in oil- and mineral-producing countries. He will discuss the role that well-designed laws and contracts, coupled with strong enforcement, can play in reforming the impact of oil and mining.Patrick has worked on governance and anti-corruption initiatives in the developing world for more than ten years, for organizations including USAID, the U.S. State Department, the Asian Development Bank, Creative Associates International, and the International Center for Transitional Justice. He is a Research Affiliate with the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development at Stanford University, where he focuses on the political economy of National Oil Companies, with special attention to Angola and Nigeria.
At Revenue Watch, Patrick focuses on governance and oversight of oil sectors, legislative and contract reform, transparency, and the promotion of government-citizen dialogue. He is working closely with partners from the African Center for Economic Transformation and the Norwegian government’s Oil for Development program to develop a technical assistance program based in Accra that will help African governments manage their extractive resources more effectively.
He holds a law degree from Stanford University and a master’s in International Relations from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
Magdalena Sepulveda, UN Independent Expert on Extreme Poverty
October 27 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm
HRI presents a lunchtime event with Magdalena Sepúlveda Carmona, UN Independent Expert on human rights and extreme poverty. Magdalena will discuss the challenges and impact of her mandate as Independent Expert, as well as her latest report on the criminalization of people living in poverty that she presents to the UN this week. The report analyses measures that punish, segregate, control and interfere in the lives of people living in poverty, illustrating how such measures impede the enjoyment of human rights by people living in poverty, and lead to further social exclusion and widely entrenched inequalities.
Magdalena holds a Ph.D in International Human Rights Law from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and an LL.M in human rights law from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom. She has worked as a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights, as a staff attorney at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and as the Co-Director of the Department of International Law and Human Rights of the United Nations affiliated University for Peace. She also served as a consultant to the Department of International Protection of UNHCR and more recently to the Norwegian Refugee Council in Colombia.
Struggling for Legal, Civil, and Human Rights: Bedouin Citizens of Israel in the Negev/Naqab
October 27 | 6:20 - 8:00 pm | JG 103
The Arab Bedouin citizens of Israel are among the indigenous Palestinian Arabs who remained on their lands (in the Naqab (Negev)) after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The Bedouin, who number 200,000 and 30% of the population in the Naqab, have lived on their ancestral lands for hundreds of years practicing a traditional lifestyle based on agriculture and the raising of livestock. They are demanding recognition of their land ownership rights, claiming less than 5% of the total land of the Naqab, as well as the right to pursue and preserve their unique culture. However, the Bedouin have historically been denied these rights and nearly 70,000 live in 35 “unrecognized villages” which pre-date the establishment of the State of Israel but where they are denied basic services including water, electricity, health and education. As a result, the Arab Bedouin community has the worst health and socio-economic outcomes in the country; Bedouin women are particularly disadvantaged by the lack of government services, and in the unrecognized villages 80% of women are illiterate and 90% are unemployed.
The speakers in the panel have been actively involved in promoting and protecting the rights of the Arab Bedouin to their ancestral land and their basic human rights through the various channels of law, advocacy and local empowerment.
Panelists:
Rawia Abu-Rabia is a member of the Israeli Bar Association and a practicing lawyer at the Association for Civil Rights in Israel in charge of the Bedouin rights project.

October 19 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm | JG 105
Attorney Rawia Aburabia directs the Bedouin Rights program at the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. Set against a backdrop of poverty, displacement, and harsh political conditions - the Negev Bedouin is among Israel's most disenfranchised communities. Where does this leave the Negev Bedouin woman? Facing things like polygamy and a law enforcement system that is not working to protect woman, the Negev Bedouin woman is often in the shadows. The ray of hope is in a younger generation of Bedouin women leading the way toward a better future. Rawia will share her experiences working to empower and raise awareness among this disempowered group - the dilemas that it raises with regards to the larger context of Bedouin Rights and the way forward.

Andrea will particularly examine the practice of the pushback to Libya of sea migrants put in place by the Italian Government in 2009, a practice which has been generally condemned as contrary to basic international human rights standards and which is currently under scrutiny by the European Court of Human Rights.
Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia Director, Human Rights Watch
October 6 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm | JGH 101
Human Rights Watch has long urged the government of India to establish an independent inquiry into allegations of enforced disappearances in Kashmir. While the government has admitted that there are about 4000 people missing, they believe most of these people to have joined the militant groups based in Pakistan. HRW has, however, documented several cases where people disappeared after being taken into custody by security forces. Local Kashmiris allege that the number of disappeared could range from 8000 to 10,000. An official investigation by the State Human Rights Commission recently found nearly 3000 unmarked graves in north Kashmir. They believe that some of those buried in these graves could be victims of enforced disappearances. Meenkashi will discuss these reports findings and the way forward.
Before taking over as South Asia Director, Meenakshi Ganguly served as Human Rights Watch's South Asia researcher since 2004. In India, she has investigated a broad range of issues from police reform to discrimination against marginalized groups, and has researched abuses surrounding the sectarian riots in Gujarat, the lack of justice in Punjab, issues of religious freedom, the failure to protect India's vulnerable communities--including those affected by the Maoist conflict, and abuses related to the fighting in the states of Manipur and Jammu & Kashmir. She has also advocated a human rights approach to India's foreign policy particularly on countries like Burma. In Nepal, Ganguly documented rights violations during the armed conflict and pushed for reform to bring abusive members of the government forces and the Maoist combatants to justice. With the end of Sri Lanka's conflict, she advocated that human rights abusers in the Sri Lankan military, as well as in the Tamil Tigers' forces, be held accountable. Ganguly has researched the issue of Bhutanese refugees in Nepal, as well as discrimination against ethnic Nepali citizens living in Bhutan, and has documented human rights violations in Bangladesh. Additionally, she has worked on issues such as protection of children during conflict, discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as the rights of men who have sex with men. Before joining Human Rights Watch, Ganguly served as the South Asia correspondent for Time Magazine, covering Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Ganguly has a Masters in Sociology from the Delhi School of Economics.
Jamil Dakwar, Director, American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Program
October 3 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm | JGH 105
Jamil Dakwar, Director of the ACLU's Human Rights Program, will discuss shifting the rights discourse in the country from civil rights and liberties to human rights and how civil society, including several legal NGOs like the ACLU, are leading this slow but incremental change in the United States.
The ACLU's Human Rights Program (HRP) is dedicated to holding the U.S. government accountable to its international human rights obligations and commitments. HRP uses a human rights framework to complement existing ACLU legal and legislative advocacy, and to advance social justice in the areas of national security, immigrants' rights, women's rights, racial justice, death penalty and children’s rights. HRP conducts human rights public education and engages in advocacy and litigation before U.S. courts and international bodies, including the United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms such as the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Prior to joining the ACLU, he worked at Human Rights Watch, where he conducted research and published reports on issues of torture and detention in Egypt, Morocco, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Before coming to the United States, Dakwar was a senior attorney with Adalah, a leading human rights group in Israel. At Adalah, he filed and argued human rights cases before the Israeli Supreme Court and advocated before international forums. He received several human rights and public interest fellowships including: the Furman International Human Rights Fellowship, New York University Law School’s Public Service Law Fellowship, and the Washington College of Law - NIF Law Fellowship. Dakwar is co-chair of the American Constitution Society's Working Group on International Law and the Constitution, which focuses on the relationship between international law and the Constitution, and the implications of this relationship for human rights. He is also a founding and steering committee member of the Human Rights at Home Campaign.
"Human Rights & the Rule of Law in China: What now, what next?"
Thomas Kellogg, Open Society Foundations
September 28 | 12:10 - 1:10 pm
For more than a decade, China watchers in the West have been divided into two rather ill-defined camps: optimists, who believe that the overall trend for human rights and rule of law is positive, even if progress is uneven and excruciatingly slow. Pessimists, on the other hand, take the view that legal reform has effectively stalled, and that the human rights situation, far from improving, in fact continues to deteriorate.
Recent events have not been kind to the optimist camp. In the view of many, the past six months have seen the biggest crackdown on human rights activists since 1989, with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of activists and lawyers called in for questioning, detained, or worse. How do the events of the past six months affect our view of where China is at present, and where it is going? How do we contextualize the crackdown against significant – if limited – reforms, including in key areas such as criminal procedure and the administration of the death penalty? Most crucially, what do recent events tell us about what the future holds for human rights and rule of law in China?
Thomas Kellogg is also adjunct professor of law at Fordham Law School. He has worked for a wide range of non-governmental organizations in the United States, Asia, and the Middle East, focusing on human rights and the development of the rule of law. Before coming to OSF, Kellogg was a senior fellow at the China Law Center at Yale Law School, where he helped Yale develop its rule of law and civil society programs; he has also worked as a researcher in the Asia division of Human Rights Watch. His research interests include the rule of law in China and Hong Kong, judicial protection of rights, constitutionalism, media regulation, and civil law reform in China. His work has appeared in the Columbia Journal of Asian Law, the Harvard Human Rights Journal, and the International Journal of Constitutional Law, among other publications, and he has lectured on Chinese law at a number of universities in the United States and in China. He is a 2003 graduate of the Harvard Law School, where he was editor-in-chief of the Harvard Human Rights Journal.
