[2] Nathan's career was in textiles, but he had worked for several Jewish causes, as well as international human rights and interfaith relations.
Nathan spoke at several events[4] including at the University of Pennsylvania on 'Human Rights in the 21st Century',[5] and a keynote paper at the ETJN International Conference on Rehabilitation and Transitional Justice (2012),[6] published in the International Human Rights Law Review in 2016.
[7] The aim of the CNRC has been to organise, sponsor and enable conferences and discussions about various fields of human rights, usually every two years, to include leading academics, lawyers, practitioners and advisors.
The CNRC has "stimulated and facilitated discussion, research and study on a striking array of topics, including international organisations, Human Rights, interfaith relations and the Holocaust and German-Jewish history".
[8] Leif Holmstrom, from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Lund, described the CNRC as having succeeded "in launching and sustaining useful and constructive events and programmes which have had a beneficial and measurable impact on the improvement of Human Rights.".
