2024 IHRP Annual Report

A Monumental Year

After a truly monumental year of expanding the reach of international human rights work, both in Canada and beyond, I reflect with great pride on the IHRP’s tremendous impact in 2024.

As the Acting Director, I am honoured to continue the excellent work started by my colleague and friend, Sandra Wisner, in relaunching the IHRP in 2023. I have the pleasure of engaging with our passionate students and dedicated project partners to address critical issues shaping our world today.

This report shines a spotlight on the incredible accomplishments of our students through Clinic projects, events, student-led initiatives, and meaningful collaborations with universities and civil society organizations. On pages 7-9, you’ll find a map and timeline that offer a glimpse into the breadth and depth of our work over the past year.

Witnessing the transformative impact of our work on both our students and the broader field throughout just one year, fills me with deep gratitude. Our generous donors and community of supporters are the driving force behind this success. Through their unwavering commitment of time and resources, they have empowered our students to engage in powerful human rights advocacy in 2024.

As we further our work in holding Canada and its actors accountable in the year ahead, I welcome your ongoing partnership and support in this important work.
