An inspiring evening reflecting on the life, work, and legacy of Adv Dullah Omar — whose vision of justice and democracy continues to guide generations. #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Ms Rahmat Omar, sister of the late Adv Dullah Omar, shares a heartfelt word of thanks on behalf of the Omar family — honouring his lifelong pursuit of justice. #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Prof Steytler: “A true human rights lawyer serves the people, not as an outsider bestowing largess, but by sharing in their humanity. Dullah Omar’s legacy calls us to act, to confront inequality, corruption, and impunity and to renew our commitment to justice.” #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Prof Nico Steytler reflected on the 1994 democratic election as a turning point in Adv Dullah Omar’s life — when he and many of his colleagues stood as ANC candidates, embodying their lifelong commitment to justice and transformation. #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Prof Steytler reminded us that judicial enforcement — through an independent judiciary and a constitutional court — was integral to Dullah Omar’s vision for a just and democratic South Africa. #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Dullah Omar’s vision aligned with the ANC’s draft Bill of Rights — introducing the now familiar ideas of progressive realisation and available resources in advancing social and economic rights. #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Quoting Dullah Omar: “Unless the basic objectives of socioeconomic rights are adopted, with mechanisms to move systematically towards them, the status quo will remain for the vast majority of oppressed and exploited people.” #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI

Prof Steytler reflected on how Adv Dullah Omar challenged the liberal opposition to the inclusion of socioeconomic rights — insisting that justice must extend beyond civil and political freedoms. #IAmUWC @UWC_DOI
