Human Rights Day Panel
While I was at the University of Ottawa in Fall 2009, serving as the Fulbright Chair in International Humanitarian Law, I had the opportunity to organize and lead a panel on the issue of human rights and access to technologies. The panel was presented on Human Rights Day (December 10). I designed the event in cooperation with Lucie Lamarche and Sonya Nigam of uOttawa's Human Rights Research and Education Centre as well as the panel participants, Prof. Richard Gold (McGill) and Prof. Chantal Blouin (Carleton). To provide a unique, interactive dynamic, I drafted a serious of questions related to the likelihood that IP could pose a barrier to access to essential new technologies, and asked the panelists to respond.
The audio of the entire interaction can be found here, divided up by individual questions.
It turned out well, and may provide a basis for additional discussion.
