SUMMARY:ISLA Conversations with Dr Ruth Nekura and Sibongile Ndashe
DESCRIPTION:The Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa invites you to a public conversation between Dr Ruth Nekura\, PhD. (Public Law) and Sibongile Ndashe\, ISLA \nFor the fourth instalment of ISLA Conversations\, Sibongile Ndashe will be in conversation with Dr Ruth Nekura about legal strategies to defend women who face defamation and criminal sanctions for pub­lic disclosure for sexual violence. From Kenya to France\, recent juris­prudence is establishing a dangerous trend of using court precedent to institutionalise patriarchal paradigms that silence women who ex­perience violence. In the past\, the defences of truth/justification and public interest were used. In this conversation we ask\, how can these and other defences be broadened in light of the state obligations to protect women from violence? What is the deficiency in the current understanding of defamation laws? Join us as we explore the history of defamation laws\, and the evolution that is now being demanded of the same since the #Me Too and #TimesUP movements. \nDATE: 16 October 2019\nTIME: 15:00 – 17:00\nVENUE: Faircity Mapungubwe Hotel\n50 – 54 Marshall St & Ferreira St\, Marshalltown\, Johannesburg\, 2107 \nTo RSVP email: sophie@the-isla.org

SUMMARY:ISLA Conversation - Independence of the African Commission on Human and People's Rights
DESCRIPTION:A PUBLIC CONVERSATION BETWEEN\nAdvocate Pansy Tlakula\, Information Regulator (South Africa) and former chairperson of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and Sibongile Ndashe\, Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa \n\nIndependence of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights\nThe African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights\, ACHPR\, is the main body that is tasked with the promotion and protection of human rights on the continent. Decision 1015 by the Executive Council of the African Union states that the ACHPR does not enjoy independence from the organs of the AU\, that established it. This is untrue\, the ACHPR was established under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and its powers are set out there. There are other parts of the decision that are not consistent with the nature and the powers of the ACHPR and other comparable bodies that exercise similar oversight functions. Ultimately\, if the ACHPR complies with the decision of the Executive Council it will make its ability to hold states accountable for human rights violations near impossible. When this decision is looked at in light of the closure of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Tribunal and the recent conversations around African Union member states’ willingness to engage with the International Criminal Court (ICC)\, the developments are concerning.\nThis is also happening at a time when there is a global backlash against the international human rights systems of protection. What is at stake? \n\nDOWNLOAD BROCHURE INVITE \n\nRSVP to Sophie January by 5 October 2018\, on sophie@the-isla.org or call 011 338 9028\nWe will be live streaming on Twitter: @ISLAfrica and Facebook: @ISLAFRICA
