Understanding the Business and Political Impacts

 

Speaker

Julio Copo, Esq.
Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C.

Clara Long
Senior Researcher, U.S. Program, Human Rights Watch

Discussion

Join us on April 4 for a discussion on the political climate in Mexico, its impact on relations with the U.S. and on human rights conditions, and considerations for those with business interests in Mexico. With national elections scheduled for July 2018 and a leftist populist candidate in the lead, what will the outcome mean for NAFTA, “the wall,” immigration, and the country’s human rights situation, which has seen a record-high level of violence and killings of journalists in recent years? What are the considerations for companies doing business in Mexico? We will hear from a Mexico City-based panelist with expertise in human rights, international law and corporate social responsibility and Clara Long, Senior Researcher in Human Rights Watch’s U.S. Program, will share insights on policies and practices affecting human rights at the border.

Who Has Been Impacted and How? Restorative Justice, Philosophy & Practice

This course will focus on the history and foundations of Restorative Justice, as well as relevant applications of Restorative Justice.

Restorative Justice is both a philosophy and a practice that has the potential to transform the ways in which schools, communities, and courts respond to harm and violence. Restorative Justice is increasingly relied on as a solution to mass incarceration, recidivism, and unjust sentencing.

Participants will gain an understanding of the core beliefs and common practices of Restorative Justice, as well as discuss potential scenarios in which Restorative Justice principles may be incorporated to shift from punitive measures to responses that promote accountability and reparations.
