SUMMARY:Carving out a Norm at the UN on the Rights of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent
DESCRIPTION:GFoD and partners are pleased to invite you to a roundtable discussion on the international\nmovement of communities discriminated on work and descent (CDWD). This important\nalliance of groups from Africa\, Europe\, Latin America and South Asia\, is forging new\npathways for justice at the international level to ensure the voices of CDWD are recognised\nand heard. The roundtable will give an opportunity for a ‘long view’ of social mobilisation\npertaining to work and descent-based discrimination that spans several decades of global action.\nThe roundtable will begin with a presentation by Dr Corinne Lennox\, Senior Lecturer in\nHuman Rights\, Institute of Commonwealth Studies\, School of Advanced Study\, University of\nLondon\, who will speak to the findings in her book\, Transnational Social Mobilisation and\nMinorities Rights: Identity\, Advocacy and Norms (Routledge 2020). The book uses the\nconcept of ‘norm entrepreneurship’ to comparatively examine the extraordinary efforts by \nDalits\, people of African descent\, Roma and Indigenous peoples to work across borders and\nat the international level to seek protection of their rights. The book draws from interviews \nwith leading activists\, participant observation and the author’s own previous work with\nactivists from her roles in NGOs\, to provide a detailed account of the strategies that have\nmade these groups highly successful in bringing international attention to their calls for\njustice.\nIn this lecture\, Dr Lennox will specifically trace the evolution of the global mobilisation of\nDalits and their alliances with other communities discriminated on the basis of work and\ndescent. The lecture will discuss the early days of their actions at the UN level\, the important\nimpact of the 2001 World Conference against Racism\, their effective use of framing and \npolitical opportunities\, and the construction of strong forms of international cooperation to\nsecure significant recognition at the international level.\nThis successful example of ‘norm entrepreneurship’ will be the backdrop for further\ndiscussion on the next wave of transnational social mobilisation by communities\ndiscriminated on work and descent (CDWD). Since 2019\, CDWD have forged exciting new \nalliances across communities and continents to develop new norms that can address the\nunique set of human rights violations they experience in common.\nLeading voices from the CDWD movement will share their reflections on key strategies that \nhave bolstered their mobilisation at the international level. The panel will also discuss the\nfuture aims and challenges for the CDWD movement as they seek to solidify their\nrecognition and support on the international and regional levels. \nTime: Jun 11\, 2024 12:00 PM Universal Time UTC \nZoom Link: https://theinclusivityproject-org.zoom.us/j/87172689955
