SUMMARY:Thirty Years of Dialogue with the Chinese Government: My Work on Human Rights in China
DESCRIPTION:East Asian Legal Studies Lunchtime Talk Series \nJohn Kamm\nChairman and Executive Director\, The Dui Hua Foundation \nDui Hua (meaning ‘dialogue’ in Chinese) is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that seeks clemency and better treatment for at-risk detainees through the promotion of universally recognized human rights in a well-informed\, mutually respectful dialogue with China. Focusing on political and religious prisoners\, juvenile justice\, women in prison\, and issues in criminal justice\, our work rests on the premise that positive change is realized through constructive relationships and exchange. \nA light lunch will be served. \n\n\n\nJohn Kamm is an American businessman and human rights campaigner active in China since 1972. He is the founder and chairman of The Dui Hua Foundation. Kamm was awarded the Department of Commerce’s Best Global Practices Award by President Bill Clinton in 1997 and the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights by President George W. Bush in 2001.
