On November 15, 2011, Executive Director John Kamm will give a seminar on “Recent Developments in Human Rights in China and the draft Criminal Procedure Law” at the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights in Oslo, Norway. The seminar, open to all, will be held at Auditorium 1, 1st Floor, Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, Cort Adelers Gate 30, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. In August, China posted draft amendments to its Criminal Procedure Law (CPL). The draft has stimulated much debate, both inside China and by international commentators and organizations. Kamm will examine the draft CPL in the context of other human rights developments in China—including positive trends (e.g., development of a juvenile justice system), negative trends (e.g., enhanced police powers to impose residential surveillance), and those that cut both ways (e.g., increased use of bail as a control mechanism). Please register by sending an email to yi.wang@nchr.uio.no. Simple lunch, coffee and tea will be served during the break.
