Venue: Aula Maxima, the Quad, NUI Galway
Please join us for an event to celebrate the launch of Are You With Me? Kevin Boyle and the Rise of the Human Rights Movement with author Mike Chinoy, in conversation with Professor Donncha O’Connell, School of Law, NUI Galway. Introduction and welcome, Professor Siobhán Mullally, Established Professor of Human Rights Law and Director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights.
This book tells the remarkable story of the late Prof. Kevin Boyle, one of the world's great human rights lawyers, scholars and activists. Kevin Boyle was Professor of Human Rights Law at NUI Galway, where he was the founder of the Irish Centre for Human Rights. Kevin devoted his life to fighting for human rights, equality and justice, in Northern Ireland and internationally, working with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson, and litigating before the European Court of Human Rights. Kevin guided Amnesty International’s campaign against apartheid in South Africa, and spearheaded efforts to defend Salman Rushdie as Director of Article 19, an international NGO dedicated to the fight for freedom of expression. He highlighted the abuses perpetrated by the British army and Northern Ireland police in a landmark case on behalf of seven Irish men who were interned without trial, beaten and tortured.
