In Memoriam of Campbell D. Robertson, NCCAR Member and Supporter

On Friday April 5th, NCCAR board members Peter Larson and Rula Odeh along with several members participated in the memorial service of Campbell Douglas Robertson to celebrate his life and many contributions.

Cam was a wonderful friend as well as an NCCAR member and supporter. He valued the universal application of international law and human rights and was a regularly published letter-writer to editors of Canadian newspapers to advocate for these principles. Cam’s obituary can be found here.

We share this quote from one of Cam’s published letters: “It is easy to forget that human rights are really supposed to be universal. That means we must exempt no country from adhering to international law and its application to human rights — not our possible foes, not our friends and yes, not ourselves.” Campbell Robertson, Ottawa
