ISSUE 06 OCTOBER- DECEMBER
Centre for Peace and Justice is delighted to bring to you the sixth issue of CPJ Blue Sky, which highlights some of the exciting work CPJ has done during the last three months of 2022. As we came together in the post-covid period, CPJ continued with its academic, advocacy, capacity building, and research agenda in a challenging environment.
As a knowledge partner for many national and international organisations, CPJ will continue to pursue the three thematic areas of peace and fragility, social justice, and open society.
Let us remember Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG on his third death anniversary. He will continue to inspire us given his life-long dedication to education, social justice and empowerment of the marginalised communities all over the world.
Let me bring to your attention the edited volume that was published on 30th December 2022, The Rohingya Crisis – Humanitarian and Legal Approaches. I wish the readers of CPJ Blue Sky a peaceful and productive 2023. The CPJ team appreciates the confidence that our partners and Brac University leadership have placed in our work and very much look forward to further engagement over the coming years.
Happy New Year!
Manzoor Hasan OBE
