Join us for a talk with Professor Christopher Heyns – UN Special Rapporteur – for the launch of our CGHR publication Unlawful Killings in Africa. This was published by the CGHR research group, which convened an interdisciplinary Research Team from across the University to conduct a broad review of the extent of unlawful killings in Africa. The team collated information from news and NGO reporting, as well as examining structural and societal causes of such killings. The objective was to provide an overview of the state of the right to life on the continent and a guide to those working in the field. The session will offer an opportunity for those working either on issues of violence from a thematic perspective, or those working specifically on Africa to exchange views with a practitioner leading the drive to put the right to life higher on the global agenda.
