[psych-hr] Call for Human Rights presentations for IPRA Conference (Sopron,Hungary, 5-9 July 2004)

CALL FOR PAPERS
for the panels of the

COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS

at the 20th General Conference of the

International Peace Research Association, Sopron, Hungary, July 5-9, 2004

IPRA's Commission on International Human Rights (CIHR) seeks to strengthen
the international human rights movement. If human rights advocates—both
individuals and organizations--work together effectively, they will manifest
more power in the world. IPRA, and CIHR in particular, can help to improve
communications among human rights organizations at the global level. We hope
to do this at the IPRA conference by building linkages among individuals and
organizations working on human rights throughout the world.

The International Peace Research Association (IPRA) will be holding its 20th
General Conference in Sopron, Hungary, July 5-9, 2004. Its theme will be
"Peace and Conflict in a Time of Globalization." The program will include
panels organized by various specialized commissions.  The purpose of this
announcement is to invite participation in the panels of IPRA's Commission
on International Human Rights (CIHR).

We will continue CIHR's practice of exploring the relationships between art
and human rights. The first two panel sessions, on July 6, 2004, will be on
Human Rights and the Arts. These panels are being organized by CIHR together
with IPRA's Commission on Art and Peace, Commission on the Global Political
Economy, and Peace Education Commission.

Continuing the practice established by CIHR at the IPRA conference held in
2002 in Seoul, Korea, CIHR will welcome proposals for presentations by
university students as well as by more senior professionals. Participation
by students should be facilitated by their mentors. These mentors will be
invited to introduce their students' presentations.

Regrettably, CIHR cannot provide any sort of financial assistance to
participants in the conference. IPRA itself has very limited capacity to
arrange assistance.

General information about IPRA may be obtained at
http://www.human.mie-u.ac.jp/~peace/index.htm  Details about the conference
will be posted on this IPRA website as they become available.

We invite you to make a proposal for CIHR's panels. For further information,
