Bower’s research trip was funded, in part, through a small grant from UBC’s SDF Program. What follows is a brief review of the outcomes of the Conference. Of particular interest to those in Canada’s security and defence communities is the incorporation of a definition of aggression into the Rome Statute.

Liu Institute Professor Benjamin Perrin, who helped draft Bill C-268, thinks the bill is only part of the solution to address human trafficking in Canada. Also needed are more judges who understand the crime and police officers who are willing to recommend human trafficking charges, he said. “We should be charging someone with the most serious charge that their conduct warrants,” Perrin said.

Santiago says, despite the prevalent stereotype of the Filipino nanny pushing a baby carriage, only 12 per cent of Filipinos in Canada arrive via the Live-In Caregiver program. More Filipinos are coming to Canada to work as nurses, he says. “The boom of nursing colleges in the Philippines has become a major business opportunity for many private entrepreneurs and institutions. There is a huge strain on health care delivery in Philippine hospitals.” Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:15:21 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=436 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 08:43:03 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=435 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:22:08 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=434 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:39:38 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=433 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 09:09:50 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=432 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:03:57 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=431 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:03:08 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=430 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 10:01:55 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=429 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:03:41 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=428 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:02:11 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=427 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:00:46 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=426 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 09:59:15 http://www.ligi.ubc.ca/?p2=modules/liu/news/view.jsp&id=424 Congratulations to Liu Scholars Asad Kiyani (International Law) and Brenda Fitzpatrick (Anthropology of Modern Societies), winners of the prestigious Vanier Canada Scholarships.
