Following a series of events with Alex Neve in Winnipeg, CHRR director Dr. Adele Perry published a review of Neve’s recently published Universal: Renewing Human Rights in a Fractured World on the Winnipeg Free Press (November 8, 2025).
Published this year in September 2025, Universal explores the promise of universal human rights and how we have progressed in this promise in recent decades. Told alongside Neve’s four decades of knowledge and experience in law and on the front lines of human rights struggles, Perry commends Neve’s ability to acknowledge both the rights and the wrongs that have been made within human rights mechanisms, including Canada’s unwillingness to recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples and the case of Palestine.
