The Human Rights Division of the Ramat-Gan Law School will hold its second international human rights conference on the subject of "Demography and Human Rights". The conference will be conducted as a researchers’ workshop and will take place in Sheraton City-Tower Hotel, Ramat-Gan, on January 12-14, 2007. In this year’s workshop we will examine the role of demographic considerations in internal public policy and in immigration policy. Can a state strive to maintain a certain ethnic balance? Is it legitimate for the state to encourage higher birth rates, and if it is, can it do so along ethnic lines? The morality of such considerations is rarely addressed by legal scholars and political theorists. Due to the increasing use of this type of considerations in public policy debates in Israel, Europe and other parts of the world it is of great importance to initiate a discussion on the morality of the demographic discourse and its implications for human rights (especially ethnic minorities and women). Among the participants: Seyla Benhabib, Peter Schuck, Chaim Gans, Christian Joppke, List of participants and full text of workshop papers can be found on the workshop website at http://www.rg-law.ac.il/worhshops/2007. Conference organizers: Dr. Moshe Cohen-Eliya and Dr. Gila Stopler, Ramat-Gan Law School, Israel.
All the theory that fits.
