The Pacific Rim International Forum

March 24 & 25, 2012

The Pacific Rim International Forum is a pre-event for the 28th Annual Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability & Diversity, aimed to highlight Human Rights' potential to transform human lives. And realizing the promise of rights enumerated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), as well as other international treaties, requires political will and the commitment of state actors, local government, and civil society. Our common vision—that each human being be treated with inherent dignity—is the foundation which inspires and facilitates the meaning of human rights standards, norms and procedures into transformative social change. The codification of rights lays the groundwork to realize an inclusive, equitable and just world; but human action is what makes it happen.

The Pacific Rim International Forum on Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a Pacific Rim International Conference on disability and diversity pre-event, highlights the potential to transform lives and communities through the theoretical and practical application of human rights norms and standards. The 2012 Forum seeks to engage participants in a lively discussion on key areas which support and facilitate the realization of fundamental human rights for millions of persons with disabilities, as expressed in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This event is hosted by the Center on Disability Studies (CDS), at the University of Hawaii.

This event is hosted by the Center on Disability Studies (CDS), a University of Hawaii Board of Regents recognized center of programs focused on the development and conduct of interdisciplinary education/training, research/demonstration and evaluation, through university and community service.
