John Pace was Chief of the UN Human Rights Office in Iraq from 2004 to 2006, where he was responsible for monitoring the human rights situation and participating in the reconstruction of Iraq. He is in Melbourne next month to give a public lecture entitled, ‘The Great Enterprise After Iraq.’
He will speak about the effects of the invasion of Iraq on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In light of Henri Laugier’s 1946 description of the pioneering work of the UN in human rights as comprising “a great enterprise”, he will present the war in Iraq and its human rights issues within the context of the historic Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
