Come and participate in an unprecedented global initiative called #RightsCity to celebrate the role Montreal has played in advancing human rights worldwide and re-energizing the international human rights community in a time of great upheaval. The Montréal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies, in partnership with Amnesty International, the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, and the Armenian National Committee of Quebec, three major events will take place: 1) the #RightsCity conference at Concordia University, 2) the Annual March for Humanity and the Prevention of Genocide, and 3) Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience Award. Well-known Canadian and international human rights champions such as Alicia Keys, Romeo Dallaire, Salil Shetty, Biram Dah Abeid, Ensaf Haidar and Irwin Cotler are scheduled to make an appearance, as well as leading members of the Indigenous rights movement of Canada, including Senator Murray Sinclair, and Cindy Blackstock. Join us May 26th – May 27th to show your support for human rights and have the opportunity to meet some of the most inspiring human rights champions on the planet!
