Join the Rapoport Center for a presentation led by Texas Law 2L students Camille Meshack and Karla Peredo, who last summer interned in Mauritius with the Chagos Refugees Group (CRG), the largest organization representing the Chagossian people. Meshack and Peredo will briefly review the history of the dispossession of the Chagossians from their ancestral islands and their contemporary fight for reparations, decolonization, and a right to return. They will talk about how their legal training in public international law as well as their first-year courses in property law and constitutional law, helped them better understand and contribute to the development of legal frameworks for Chagossian resettlement. By connecting their studies to international legal practice, the event will highlight the roles that law students can play in partnerships for decolonization and justice. Professor Karen Engle and Cooper Christiancy, who coordinate the CRG’s partnership with the Rapoport Center, will also speak.
