Brian Concannon, an international human rights lawyer, will present “Human Rights Issues in Post-Earthquake Haiti." Concannon worked in Haiti with the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) from 1996 to 2004. While in Haiti, he contributed substantially to bringing justice and reparation to victims of the first military coup (1991-94). Upon returning to the United States after the 2004 coup, he created the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti. Working in collaboration with the BAI, he is involved in a variety of cases, from bringing former president of Haiti Jean-Claude Duvalier to justice, to providing legal representation for cholera victims and working on illegal IDP camps expropriations and rape issues in camps. Brian Concannon will update us on the current human rights and humanitarian situation in post-earthquake Haiti. This lecture will be in English.
