PLEASE NOTE THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED. A Global perspectives on disability, human rights and accessing justice seminar, organized by the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism.

This seminar is accredited for 1.5 hours of continuing legal education by the Quebec Bar (activity no. 10075984).

Agenda

Over the last decades, a number of jurisdictions have turned to the law to guide decision- making or address contested human rights issues of persons disabled by illness or injury near the end of life. In the last two years, developments in Canada have re-ignited public debate on end-of-life care and dying with dignity. Quebec has proposed end-of-life legislation. A British Columbia Court has found the Canadian Criminal Code ban on assisted suicide violates the Canadian Charter, but the decision has been overturned and is pending before the Canadian Supreme Court.

The seminar will allow participants to identify key issues and exchange ideas on the difficult questions inherent in end-of-life care, human dignity and respect for the rights of persons with disabilities.
