If it is possible to sum up a life as busy and varied as Kader Asmal's in two words, those must be: human rights. Asmal has spent his entire life trying to understand, defend and advance human rights.
The seeds of this lifelong passion were sown in childhood. Growing up in the country town of Stanger in the '40s and '50s, Asmal became acutely aware of racism. He first felt its sting as a teenager, when he was chased away from a 'white' shop where he had gone to buy a newspaper.
Asmal, who was born on October 8, 1934, grew up in a lively, lower middle-class home. His mother kept house; his father was a shopkeeper, a shop assistant and unemployed, in that order. Although they were not political, his parents encouraged debate among their eight children.
The decisive moment in his political growth, recalls Asmal, was seeing footage of Nazi concentration camp victims. Then and there he decided he would be a lawyer, so that he could oppose the Nazi mentality. Slowly, over the years, he drew the connection between what had happened in faraway Europe and life under apartheid.
Perhaps the most vivid moment of the Defiance Campaign era for Asmal, as a politicised matric pupil, was seeing the Campaign's leaders marching in prison uni

Paper short abstract:
The Cape Town-based World Commission on Dams sought to overcome conflict over large dams by uniting supporters and opponents in one multi-stakeholder dialogue. This presentation traces the history and legacies of an institution that seemed to promise a different, more progressive kind of development
Paper long abstract:
The World Commission on Dams was established on the initiative of the World Bank and IUCN in the late 1990s, following extensive conflict over large dams in many countries around the world. Its base was in Cape Town, and its head, Kader Asmal, was a South African government minister and long-standing anti-apartheid activist.
The World Commission on Dams has often been called an ‘experiment in multi-stakeholder dialogue’, because it united dam opponents and supporters, from government, private sector, civil society, and academia, who were tasked with coming to a consensus about the future of large dams.
