Our next Distinguished Lecture Series talk will take place on Tuesday 23 February 2021, 18:00-19:30

John Grisby: ‘The Perfect Storm in Sports 4.0: Today’s Leadership is not Enough for Tomorrow’s Problems’ by Professor John Grisby, Professor in Practice of Leadership and Management and Managing Partner at Grey Matter Global Ltd, a leadership strategy consultancy.

Perfect storms are a rare combination of circumstances that combine to drastically aggravate an event. This is exactly what is happening in every sector at the moment - including sports - which will require a different set of skills to lead effectively. Today, and on the horizon, sports is experiencing accelerated change, complexity and difficult problems. We will take a unique approach analysing why today's leadership is not enough to solve tomorrow's problems.

Open to staff, students and members of the public.

Event: Politicization of the International Human Rights Agenda: A Conversation with the Experts

A Webinar and Book Launch

We will post the video this week!

Speakers:

Soledad García Munoz, Organization of American States Special Rapporteur on Economic, Social, Cultural and Environmental Rights.

Dr Jose A. Guevara Bermudez, member of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, Professor of Human Rights, Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala.

Dr Magdalena Sepulveda Carmona, former UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty, Executive Director of the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Chair: Prof. Joshua Castellino, Executive Director of Minority Rights Group International and Professor of Law at Middlesex University.

Abstract:
In her book 'In Defense of Politicization of Human Rights: The UN Special Procedures', Dr Dominguez-Redondo argues that the operational flexibility, visibility, status and methods of work of Special Procedures, demonstrates that States' involvement in the functioning of expert-led human rights mechanisms, may be more beneficial than detrimental to the advancement of the international human rights agenda. Mandate-holders of expert mechanisms from the United Nations, the Organization of American State and the African Union will present their vision and experience of how mandate holders have negotiated the political space available to positive effect. The book partly addresses the critique of international human rights law expressed by some scholars, which it argues have hollowed out the movement creating room for its exploitation by populists, to the deterioration of the rights climate. Drawing on nearly seventy five years of UN documents, Special Procedures' practice and State initiatives and responses concerning the objection, articulation, scrutiny and critique of human rights, the book also finds little basis for the popular conception of a progressive 'North' and a regressive 'South' in terms of global politics concerned with human rights.

Oxford University Press is offering a 30% discount to attendees when they purchase the book from the OUP website using the promotional code ALAUTHC4 at checkout.
