The Schaeffer Center warmly welcomed Ibrahim Salama, former Chief of the Human Rights聽Treaties Branch at the Office of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights聽(OHCHR), to give a lecture on the "Faith for Rights" framework.

The "Faith for Rights" framework provides space for a cross-disciplinary reflection and action on the deep, and mutually enriching, connections between religions and human rights. The objective is to foster the development of peaceful societies, which uphold human dignity and equality for all and where diversity is not just tolerated but fully respected and celebrated.

Ibrahim Salama was an Egyptian diplomat for 27 years, with predominantly multilateral inter-governmental experience. He assumed diplomatic assignments Paris, New Delhi, Geneva and Lisbon, and then served the United Nations for 17 years as a senior manager of human rights mechanisms. While he retired in June 2024, he continues engagement on human rights through teaching and research, as associate Professor and Director of the Observatory of Human Rights at the UN, in the University of Ottawa.
