AbstractThe Role of the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief has already been outlined by Carolyn Evans in the first issue of Religion and Human Rights on pages I:75–96. In the meantime, a doctoral thesis on the mandate of the Special Rapporteur was submitted by Michael Wiener to the Law Faculty at Trier University in Germany. e following article is the annotated English summary of this 350 pages strong thesis which has recently been published with the title Das Mandat des UN-Sonderberichterstatters über Religions- oder Weltanschauungsfreiheit—Institutionelle, prozedurale und materielle Rechtsfragen (Peter Lang, Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien, 2007). It explores various legal issues of the mandate in terms of institutional, procedural and substantive questions that have arisen in the Special Rapporteur's mandate practice from 1986 to 2006.

Northern Cities

This chapter chronicles Richardson’s travels to northern cities to aid local activists who were building freedom movements based on the same issues addressed in Cambridge: jobs, housing, health care, and education. As such, the Cambridge movement was a model for the northern activists who developed Black Power, and they looked to Richardson as a leader they could emulate—notably, her counterprotest during George Wallace’s visit to Cambridge in May 1964. Through her use of “creative chaos”—a strategy that confused the Cambridge movement’s opponents—Richardson solidified her reputation for effective human rights leadership. Gendered interpretations of her leadership and activism, as well as the role of gender in the civil rights movement more generally, are also covered, as is her relocation to New York City in 1964 when she married photojournalist Frank Dandridge.

This conversation, originally conducted in Chinese, explores the role of films, movie theaters, screens, streaming platforms, and documentary filmmaking in China during the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Zhang Zhen and Jiang Jiehong—professors at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, and Birmingham City University, UK, respectively—discuss the human rights movement prompted by state-sanctioned racist violence, feminist interventions in filmmaking practices, documentation of the pandemic in China, and tensions between state discourse and minjian (unofficial, unaffiliated, grassroots, and among-the-people) narratives.
