Date: Thursday 1 December 2016
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building
Speaker: Professor Philip Alston
Chair: Professor Chetan Bhatt
The human rights movement is reeling and the worst is yet to come. Populists have come to power in key countries promoting an agenda which is avowedly nationalistic, xenophobic and retrograde. The space for civil society has been closed down in many countries. The International Criminal Court is under concerted attack as states withdraw and ‘unsign’. Regional and UN institutions are under increasing pressure. This lecture suggests what can be done in response to this onslaught of negative developments. ‘Business as usual’ is not one of the options. Intensive self-reflection, innovative thinking and creative strategizing will be required.
This lecture marks International Human Rights day, which on the 10th December each year commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly.
Philip Alston is John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law at New York University School of Law. His teaching focuses primarily on international law, human rights law, and international criminal law. He co-chairs the NYU Center for Human Rights and Global Justice.
He has previously been Professor of Law and Foundation Director of the Center for International and Public Law at the Australian National University and Professor of International Law at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence where he was also Head of Department and Co-Director of the Academy of European Law.
Alston was appointed in 2014 as the UN Human Rights Council’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. He was previously UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions from 2004 to 2010 and undertook fact-finding missions to: Sri Lanka, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Philippines, Israel, Lebanon, Albania, Kenya, Brazil, Central African Republic, Afghanistan, the United States, Albania, and Ecuador. He was a member of the Group of Experts on Darfur appointed in 2007 by the UN Human Rights Council, and was special adviser to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the Millennium Development Goals. He chaired the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights for eight years until 1998, and at the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights he was elected to chair the first meeting of the Presidents and Chairs of all of the international human rights courts and committees (including the European and American Human Rights Courts and the African Commission). He was UNICEF's legal adviser throughout the period of the drafting of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and directed a major project funded by the European Commission, which resulted in the publication of a Human Rights Agenda for the European Union for the Year 2000 and a volume of essays on that theme.

On Haiti, ICP Asks Why UN Didn't Answer Alston Like Gallach Didn't Answer Kaye, Teenager Killed
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, October 26 -- After the UN under Ban Ki-moon killed more than 10,000 people in Haiti by bringing cholera, Ban spent years dodging court papers and the issue.
The UN now says it has a new approach to Ban Ki-moon longstanding impunity for bringing cholera to Haiti. But on October 14, the UN of Ban and his Under Secretary General for Public Information Cristina Gallach had Inner City Press thrown out of of the “available” meeting on the new approach.
On October 25, Philip Alston gave a press conference in the UN Press Briefing Room, at which a total of two journalists asked questions: the New York Times and Inner City Press.
Inner City Press asked Alston if he saw Ban Ki-moon's UN's impunity for cholera in Haiti as similar to the lack of accountability for rapes, including of children, in the Central African Republic. Alston distinguished the two, saying that some of the problems with peacekeeper sexual abuse are up to member states, and praising Ban for firing Babacar Gaye.
Alston made an analogy to Ban backing down to Saudi Arabia and its allies and dropping the Saudi led Coalition from the Children and Armed Conflict annex on Yemen, and said that the United States is similarly pressuring Ban.
Inner City Press while quite aware of the U.S. role asked Alston if that explained for example Ban dodging legal papers, having the press thrown out and if in fact the 11th hour offer of charity might just be to attempt to clean up his legacy for a run for South Korea's presidency.
Alston said he couldn't speak to that, but that he had two meeting with Ban, one in January and another, just with Ban and Ban's deputy. He said he met with the US Mission's deputy ambassador. Inner City Press asked if he meant Isobel Coleman, present in the October 14 “available” meeting Inner City Press was thrown out of and banned from covering. An Alston staff clarified it had been with Deputy Permanent Representative Michele Sison. But what has by the US Mission's and U.S. State Department's role?
Alston decried both the US administration and the UN for failing to provide their legal arguments. As to the UN, this is was also refused, for example, when the UN threw Inner City Press out earlier this year. Here's USG Gallach's first letter and second letter; here's her bogus response to Alston's fellow Special Rapporteurs Kaye and Forst. Here's the UN's memo to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The lawlessness is pervasive. On October 26, Inner City Press asked Ban's spokesman Dujarric, UN transcript here:
Inner City Press: I wanted to ask some questions about Haiti. ...
ICP Question: And I wanted to ask you, in this room yesterday, as I'm sure you know, Philip Alston, the Special Rapporteur, said that he… among other things, he said that he believed the Secretary-General had given in to US pressure on his legal position on… on not acknowledging that the UN brought cholera to Haiti and not… and I also wanted to… in looking at Mr. [Jan] Eliasson's response, Alston had asked him to respond to five questions by 12 October. And the letter… that's why I asked you yesterday… it wasn't clear to me, because he did not… there's certainly no numbered bullet points in his response. But what the questions were, what are the political and policy issues that… that make it impossible for the UN to acknowledge or make some legal recognition in payments? Will the illegal [sic] advice of OLA [Office of Legal Affairs] be released? And will the payments, to the degree they're made, be solely ex gratia in order to avoid any type of legal accountability for the cholera?
Spokesman: I think… I'm not going to go into the advice that the legal counsel gave to the Secretary-General. That is privileged, as any relationship between the legal counsel and the Secretary-General. We've explained our position here over and over again. We very much heard what Mr. Alston had to say and what other Member States had to say. The legal position does not prevent us from putting forward effective steps to stop cholera and to bring assistance to those who were impacted by the cholera outbreak. More details of the two-track approach will be released by the Secretary-General, and hopefully, that will answer some of your questions.
QICP Question: But do… it's not my questions. I'm thinking about Mr. Alston's questions. Does the Secretary-General believe that Member States, for example, that get letters from Special Rapporteurs with five questions should, in fact, answer the questions? And I'm asking you because Ms. [Cristina] Gallach didn't answer…[UN cut off reference to SR Kaye, letter with questions here.]

Human rights
Human rights are moral principles or norms, that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal, and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone. They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others. They should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances; for example, human rights may include freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution.

United Nations Special Rapporteur
Special Rapporteur, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Independent Expert are titles given to individuals working on behalf of the United Nations (UN) within the scope of "Special Procedures" mechanisms, who bear a specific mandate from the United Nations Human Rights Council, either a country mandate or a thematic mandate. "Rapporteur" is a French-derived word for an investigator who reports to a deliberative body.
The mandate by the United Nations has been to "examine, monitor, advise, and publicly report" on human rights problems through "activities undertaken by special procedures, including responding to individual complaints, psychological operations and manipulation via the controlled media and academia, conducting studies, providing advice on technical cooperation at the country level, and engaging in general promotional activities." However, the Coordination Committee of Special Procedures Internal Advisory Procedure to Review Practices and Working Methods (25 June 2008) manual simply calls these individuals mandate-holders. Other applications of the role include "Special Representative of the Secretary-General" or "Independent Expert", or a working group usually composed of five members, one from each region of the planet.

2013, role: actor , character name: Himself - United Nations, Former Special Rapporteur of Extrajudicial Executions
Famous quotes by Philip Alston:
"The purpose of these killings has been to repress and divide the population for political gain."
"Every such killing represents a major setback to the peace process, and every retaliatory death plays into the hands of those whose interests do not lie in the restoration of peace."
"The dangerous escalation of the conflict in recent days is a direct consequence of killings being allowed to run unchecked."
"The government is, in effect, instructing its forces to shoot innocent people, in complete disregard for the right to life."
"Under international law, widespread or systematic attacks against the civilian population are crimes against humanity."
"When defense lawyers are murdered, the rule of law is doubly at stake. Human rights law requires that all murders be investigated in a credible manner. Moreover, defense attorneys are critical to a fair trial, and their systematic assassination threatens the entire process."
"An independent investigation is essential because these killings have huge implications for efforts to establish the rule of law in Iraq."
"This is clearly a situation in which a failure to undertake a convincing investigation will have major negative implications for all that the government is trying to achieve."

On Haiti, ICP Asks Why UN Evaded Alston Like Gallach Did Kaye, Teenager Killed Awaiting Aid
On Haiti, ICP Asks Why UN Didn't Answer Alston Like Gallach Didn't Answer Kaye, Teenager Killed By Matthew Russell Lee UNITED NATIONS, October 26 -- After the UN under Ban Ki-moon killed more than 10,000 people in Haiti by bringing cholera, Ban spent years dodging court papers and the issue.

On Haiti, ICP Asks Why UN Didn't Answer Alston Like Gallach Didn't Answer Kaye, Teenager Killed
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, October 26 -- After the UN under Ban Ki-moon killed more than 10,000 people in Haiti by bringing cholera, Ban spent years dodging court papers and the issue.
The UN now says it has a new approach to Ban Ki-moon longstanding impunity for bringing cholera to Haiti. But on October 14, the UN of Ban and his Under Secretary General for Public Information Cristina Gallach had Inner City Press thrown out of of the “available” meeting on the new approach.
On October 25, Philip Alston gave a press conference in the UN Press Briefing Room, at which a total of two journalists asked questions: the New York Times and Inner City Press.
Inner City Press asked Alston if he saw Ban Ki-moon's UN's impunity for cholera in Haiti as similar to the lack of accountability for rapes, including of children, in the Central African Republic. Alston distinguished the two, saying that some of the problems with peacekeeper sexual abuse are up to member states, and praising Ban for firing Babacar Gaye.
Alston made an analogy to Ban backing down to Saudi Arabia and its allies and dropping the Saudi led Coalition from the Children and Armed Conflict annex on Yemen, and said that the United States is similarly pressuring Ban.
Inner City Press while quite aware of the U.S. role asked Alston if that explained for example Ban dodging legal papers, having the press thrown out and if in fact the 11th hour offer of charity might just be to attempt to clean up his legacy for a run for South Korea's presidency.
Alston said he couldn't speak to that, but that he had two meeting with Ban, one in January and another, just with Ban and Ban's deputy. He said he met with the US Mission's deputy ambassador. Inner City Press asked if he meant Isobel Coleman, present in the October 14 “available” meeting Inner City Press was thrown out of and banned from covering. An Alston staff clarified it had been with Deputy Permanent Representative Michele Sison. But what has by the US Mission's and U.S. State Department's role?
Alston decried both the US administration and the UN for failing to provide their legal arguments. As to the UN, this is was also refused, for example, when the UN threw Inner City Press out earlier this year. Here's USG Gallach's first letter and second letter; here's her bogus response to Alston's fellow Special Rapporteurs Kaye and Forst. Here's the UN's memo to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The lawlessness is pervasive. On October 26, Inner City Press asked Ban's spokesman Dujarric, UN transcript here:
Inner City Press: I wanted to ask some questions about Haiti. ...
ICP Question: And I wanted to ask you, in this room yesterday, as I'm sure you know, Philip Alston, the Special Rapporteur, said that he… among other things, he said that he believed the Secretary-General had given in to US pressure on his legal position on… on not acknowledging that the UN brought cholera to Haiti and not… and I also wanted to… in looking at Mr. [Jan] Eliasson's response, Alston had asked him to respond to five questions by 12 October. And the letter… that's why I asked you yesterday… it wasn't clear to me, because he did not… there's certainly no numbered bullet points in his response. But what the questions were, what are the political and policy issues that… that make it impossible for the UN to acknowledge or make some legal recognition in payments? Will the illegal [sic] advice of OLA [Office of Legal Affairs] be released? And will the payments, to the degree they're made, be solely ex gratia in order to avoid any type of legal accountability for the cholera?
Spokesman: I think… I'm not going to go into the advice that the legal counsel gave to the Secretary-General. That is privileged, as any relationship between the legal counsel and the Secretary-General. We've explained our position here over and over again. We very much heard what Mr. Alston had to say and what other Member States had to say. The legal position does not prevent us from putting forward effective steps to stop cholera and to bring assistance to those who were impacted by the cholera outbreak. More details of the two-track approach will be released by the Secretary-General, and hopefully, that will answer some of your questions.
QICP Question: But do… it's not my questions. I'm thinking about Mr. Alston's questions. Does the Secretary-General believe that Member States, for example, that get letters from Special Rapporteurs with five questions should, in fact, answer the questions? And I'm asking you because Ms. [Cristina] Gallach didn't answer…[UN cut off reference to SR Kaye, letter with questions here.]

Populists have come to power in key countries promoting an agenda which is avowedly nationalistic, xenophobic and retrograde. The space for civil society has been closed down in many countries. The International Criminal Court is under concerted attack as states withdraw and ‘unsign’. Regional and UN institutions are under increasing pressure.

Philip Alston Public Lecture
The human rights movement is reeling and the worst is yet to come. Populists have come to power in key countries promoting an agenda which is avowedly nationalistic, xenophobic and retrograde. This lecture suggests what can be done in response to this onslaught of negative developments. ‘Business as usual’ is not one of the options. Intensive self-reflection, innovative thinking and creative strategising will be required. Philip Alston was appointed by the Human Rights Council in 2014 as the UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights. He has taught at the European University Institute, the Australian National University, Harvard Law School, and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He is widely regarded as one of the world's leading human rights lawyers.

The Forum: The Morality and Legality of Targeted Killings: From Bin Laden to al-Awlaki
The Obama Administration has increasingly turned to drones (or in the case of Bin Laden, Navy Seals) to wage what the Bush Administration had called the "war on terror." At the same time that President Obama has claimed that "justice" demands extraterritorial killings of named individuals, he has rejected other counter-terrorism tools used by the former Administration, such as water-boarding. What is the moral case for such distinctions? Does either the U.S. Constitution or international law permit targeted killings, whether or not the target is a U.S. national? Does it matter whether the USG engages in such acts only on a recognized battlefield (e.g., Afghanistan vs. Yemen or Pakistan), uses particular methods (unmanned drones vs. members of the U.S. military), or does so only with the co...

Unleashing the use of force
Renowned international law and human rights academic, Professor Philip Alston, delivers the Human rights day lecture - Unleashing the use of force. Part of the Research School of Asia and the Pacific's 'Distinguished Visitor' program, with the Centre for International Governance and Justice at RegNet. Covert killings by states in the territory of other states have become a regular feature of international relations and there has been little scrutiny of their legality. This lecture will consider the challenges this practice poses for human rights and the rule of law. The norm prohibiting the use of force across borders was one of the most important achievements of the twentieth century. Today, however, the United States and its allies are systematically promoting international legal doctr...

The Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (New York University School of Law) hosted a major conference on International Human Rights Fact-Finding in the Twenty-First Century, in New York on November 1-2, 2013.

The human rights movement is reeling and the worst is yet to come. Populists have come to power in key countries promoting an agenda which is avowedly nationalistic, xenophobic and retrograde. The space for civil society has been closed down in many countries. The International Criminal Court is under concerted attack as states withdraw and ‘unsign’. Regional and UN institutions are under increasing pressure. This lecture suggests what can be done in response to this onslaught of negative developments. ‘Business as usual’ is not one of the options. Intensive self-reflection, innovative thinking and creative strategizing will be required.
This lecture marks International Human Rights day, which on the 10th December each year commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly.
Philip Alston is John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law at New York University School of Law. His teaching focuses primarily on international law, human rights law, and international criminal law. He co-chairs the NYU Center for Human Rights and Global Justice.
He has previously been Professor of Law and Foundation Director of the Center for International and Public Law at the Australian National University and Professor of International Law at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence where he was also Head of Department and Co-Director of the Academy of European Law.
Alston was appointed in 2014 as the UN Human Rights Council’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. He was previously UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions from 2004 to 2010 and undertook fact-finding missions to: Sri Lanka, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Philippines, Israel, Lebanon, Albania, Kenya, Brazil, Central African Republic, Afghanistan, the United States, Albania, and Ecuador. He was a member of the Group of Experts on Darfur appointed in 2007 by the UN Human Rights Council, and was special adviser to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the Millennium Development Goals. He chaired the UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights for eight years until 1998, and at the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights he was elected to chair the first meeting of the Presidents and Chairs of all of the international human rights courts and committees (including the European and American Human Rights Courts and the African Commission). He was UNICEF's legal adviser throughout the period of the drafting of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and directed a major project funded by the European Commission, which resulted in the publication of a Human Rights Agenda for the European Union for the Year 2000 and a volume of essays on that theme. In 2010-11 he was a member of the Independent International Commission investigating human rights violations in Kyrgzstan.

The Obama Administration has increasingly turned to drones (or in the case of Bin Laden, Navy Seals) to wage what the Bush Administration had called the "war on terror." At the same time that President Obama has claimed that "justice" demands extraterritorial killings of named individuals, he has rejected other counter-terrorism tools used by the former Administration, such as water-boarding. What is the moral case for such distinctions? Does either the U.S. Constitution or international law permit targeted killings, whether or not the target is a U.S. national? Does it matter whether the USG engages in such acts only on a recognized battlefield (e.g., Afghanistan vs. Yemen or Pakistan), uses particular methods (unmanned drones vs. members of the U.S. military), or does so only with the consent of the territorial sovereign?

Renowned international law and human rights academic, Professor Philip Alston, delivers the Human rights day lecture - Unleashing the use of force. Part of the Research School of Asia and the Pacific's 'Distinguished Visitor' program, with the Centre for International Governance and Justice at RegNet.
Covert killings by states in the territory of other states have become a regular feature of international relations and there has been little scrutiny of their legality. This lecture will consider the challenges this practice poses for human rights and the rule of law.
The norm prohibiting the use of force across borders was one of the most important achievements of the twentieth century. Today, however, the United States and its allies are systematically promoting international legal doctrines that radically expand the circumstances under which such armed attacks can be launched. At the same time, the crucial distinction between the rules applicable to military forces and those governing intelligence operations is deliberately being blurred, almost to the point of extinction. The result is that 'special forces' increasingly carry out killings covertly in the territory of other states, and the stage is being set for a significant expansion of such practices. Despite the destructive consequences of these developments for the norms against the use of force and against extrajudicial killings, many of the 'victim' states are surprisingly passive and other western governments seem largely unconcerned about the implications for the rule of law. There is an urgent need for the international community to call a halt to these developments.
Philip Alston's teaching focuses primarily on international law and international human rights law. He co-chairs the NYU Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. Alston received degrees in Law and in Economics in his home country (Australia) and a JSD from Berkeley. During the 1980s he taught at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and at Harvard Law School. He then became Professor of Law and Foundation Director of the Center for International and Public Law at the Australian National University, a post he held until 1995. From 1996 to 2001 he was Professor of International Law at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy, where he was also Head of Department and Co-Director of the Academy of European Law.
In the field of international law, Alston was Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of International Law from 1996 through 2007, and was previously Co-Editor of the Australian Yearbook of International Law. He was a United Nations official, working in Geneva on human rights issues from 1978 to 1984. He has worked as a consultant to the ILO, the UNDP Human Development Report, the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNESCO, OECD, UNICEF, and many other inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations. Other posts he has held include Chief-of-Staff to a Cabinet Minister in Australia in the Whitlam Government (1974-75), and Discrimination Commissioner for the Australian Capital Territory for three years.

Human Rights in an Illiberal Age
February 8, 2017
The NYU School of Law Forum
What are the principal challenges for the human rights movement, especially but not only in the United States? Is human rights a discourse whose time has passed, or is this precisely the moment when it assumes new salience? Are existing approaches to human rights sufficient for the task, or is something very different needed?
Panelists:
Philip Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law; UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
Baher Azmy, Legal Director, Center for Constitutional Rights
Ejim Dike, Human rights advocate, former Executive Director of the US Human Rights Network
Margaret Satterthwaite, Professor of Clinical Law; Faculty Director, Robert L. Bernstein Institute for Human Rights

Panelists:
Steven Dean, Brooklyn Law School
Attiya Waris, University of Nairobi, Kenya
Niko Lusiani, Center for Economic and Social Rights
Mary Cosgrove, J. E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics
This panel situated the discussion of tax abuse and human rights in its geopolitical context, addressing the differentiated responsibilities of the Global North and South for the causes and consequences of tax abuse, and the relationship between cross-border tax abuse and inter-State inequalities. Experts from the fields of tax and human rights discussed the methodological challenges of assessing the extraterritorial impacts of tax policies and secrecy regimes, some of which were laid bare in recent attempts to conduct “spillover analyses” of laws and regulations in the Global North. How can studies capture the human rights consequences of the policies that enable cross-border tax abuse, including the gendered impacts? Panelists explored options for enforcing global tax rules and holding actors accountable for tax abuses that affect human rights, including the potential role for domestic courts, as well as regional an international human rights bodies.

On May 4, the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice hosted the launch of Professor John Ruggie's "Just Business: Multinational Corporations and Human Rights." The launch featured a panel discussion moderated by Professor Philip Alston, Co-Chair of NYU School of Law's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. Professor Ruggie and a cross-section of esteemed commentators discussed the evolution of the UN Guiding Principles, their contributions to the field of business and human rights today, and their ongoing potential as a game-changing standard of practice.
Just Business tells the powerful story of how the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights came to exist. It demonstrates how, to solve a seemingly unsolvable problem, Ruggie had to abandon many widespread and long-held understandings about the relationships between business, government, rights and law, and develop fresh ways of viewing the issues. It takes us through the journey of assembling the right type of team, of witnessing the severity of the problem firsthand, and of pressing through the many obstacles such a daunting endeavor faced. In June 2011, the Guiding Principles were unanimously endorsed by the United Nations and consequently embraced and implemented by numerous other international bodies, businesses, governments, workers' organizations, and human rights groups, marking a revolution in corporate social responsibility.

Coll will be in discussion with Manan Ahmed, Assistant Professor of History at Columbia, and Philip G. Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law at New York University. Alston served as the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions from 2004 to 2010.
