DESCRIPTION:This year\, we have the honour of welcoming Jacques Frémont for
  the René Cassin Lecture.\n\nAbstract\n\nForty years ago\, the Quebec Nati
 onal Assembly adopted the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What have
  been the main achievements of this quasi-constitutional instrument and wh
 at lessons can be drawn concerning\, among other things\, the judicial app
 roach to protecting human rights? In an increasingly diverse and connected
  society\, are we still willing to renew our commitment in pursuing the hu
 man rights agenda? Could the Charter be updated and adjusted to incorporat
 e international norms relating to human rights? At 40\, the consensus in Q
 uebec concerning human rights appears fragile in some quarters. Public con
 cerns regarding what we thought was the general acceptance of the human ri
 ght paradigm are increasingly present. In this context\, the main challeng
 es ahead have to do with a cultural re-appropriation of the human rights p
 aradigm within the Quebec population.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nProfessor em
 eritus at the University of Montreal\, Mr. Frémont was named President of 
 the Quebec Human Rights and Youth Rights Commission in 2013. Before this a
 ppointment\, he was Director of the International Higher Education Support
  Program of the Open Society Foundations in New York.\n\nDuring his career
  at the University of Montreal\, Mr. Frémont has acted as Dean of the Law 
 school as well as Provost and vice-rector Academic affairs until 2010. Mr.
  Fremont is author of numerous books\, articles and chapter of books in co
 nstitutional law as well as in public law. As President of the Quebec Huma
 n Rights and Youth Rights Commission\, Mr. Frémont has a unique perspectiv
 e on the Charter\, the battles won and those that remain\, and the change-
 makers – past\, present\, and future.  He will discuss changing attitudes 
 and changing lives and the future of Human Right in Quebec.\n\nThe event w
 as accredited for 1.5 hours of continuing legal education with the Barreau
  du Québec (no. 10104747).\n
