Haim Cohn Memorial Lecture - held at the Law Faculty at the College of Management on June 2007 - Prof. Irwin Cotler, a leading scholar in the field of human rights law, a former Canadian Minister of Justice, and an outstanding legal champion of human rights in many parts of the world, gave this year’s lecture which was co-sponsored by the College of Management Law School and the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists. His major theme was the need to be constantly and actively engaged in the pursuit of human rights, following the Biblical dictum: “Justice, justice shall you pursue”. During his tenure as Minister of Justice, Prof. Cotler strove to entrench such rights in the areas of the appointment of Supreme Court judges; the Canadian Charter of Human Rights; the rights of the indigenous peoples and same-sex unions. He concluded by calling for concerted legal action against the genocidal threat against Israel by the Iranian President and the plight of the people of Darfur.
