07 September: US Embassy representatives to address human rights
One of the most fundamental concepts underpinning policy decisions at the national and international levels today is human rights. It is therefore important to understand how this concept is interpreted and applied by various governments. To initiate a dialogue on this issue, on Friday, 7 September 2007, Mr. Guy Margalith, Human Rights Officer, and Ms. Jessica Adler, Deputy Refugee Coordinator, from the US Embassy in Bangkok will come to AIT to speak on 'Human Rights and the Refugee Situation in Thailand'. The talk will be held in the Milton E. Bender, Jr. Auditorium starting at 1:30 p.m.
Prof. Peter Haddawy, Vice President for Academic Affairs invites all students, faculty, and staff to join in this important discussion and debate. This event is part of a broader ongoing effort to enrich the intellectual environment on campus by bringing in speakers who will stimulate discussion and debate within our campus community on issues of current importance.
