The Centre for Criminal Justice and Human Rights is delighted to announce that Professor Rhona Smith, the UN Human Rights Committee Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Cambodia, has kindly agreed to deliver our 11th Distinguished Lecture. Her lecture “The centrality of human rights in creating durable peace, stability and development: lessons from Cambodia” coincides with important human rights anniversaries. The 10th December is Human Rights day and this year marks the 70th anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, while the 9th December is the 20th anniversary of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. We are therefore particularly pleased to be able to host a leading UN representative who has extensive experience in relation to the practical issues arising around human rights implementation and human rights defenders.
