Mission

The mission of the Centre includes:

History

Established in September 2005, the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism was formed to provide students, professors and the larger community with a locus of intellectual and physical resources for engaging critically with the ways in which law affects some of the most compelling social problems of our modern era, most notably human rights issues. Since then, the Centre has distinguished itself by its innovative legal and interdisciplinary approach, and its diverse and vibrant community of scholars, students and practitioners working at the intersection of human rights and legal pluralism.

People

The Centre thrives in the cultural and academic diversity among its members: over 50% of Centre members and associate members are specialists in disciplines outside of law, including political science, philosophy, anthropology, geography, economics, education, religious studies, and social work. The Centre is also home to some of the world鈥檚 leading experts in international criminal law, comparative law, constitutional law, and legal theory.

Each year, the Centre also welcomes a community of exceptional individuals from across the globe (visiting fellows, visiting researchers, graduate students, and student members) who each add fresh voices to the already existing intellectual diversity and debate at the Centre. The invaluable support of our team of law students and interns is similarly integral to the life and work and dynamism of the Centre.

Ideas

The Centre is a locus of cutting-edge research on pertinent issues at the intersection of human rights and legal pluralism, and is also focused on building communities around core themes. The dynamism and intellectual diversity of our community of scholars and thinkers provides a fertile environment for collaborative, symbiotic and innovative scholarship.

The Centre鈥檚 core areas of research include:

  1. Human Rights and Legal Pluralism
  2. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities
  3. Discrimination and Inclusion
  4. Globalization, Migration, and Mobility
  5. Reconciliation
  6. Scholars and Advocates in Danger
  7. Economic Justice

Action

Recognizing the impact of ideas on the world and the impact of the world on ideas, we strive to connect people, ideas and communities. Our enduring partnerships with global and local civil society provide rich experiential learning opportunities to our members and students.

Since its creation, the Centre has provided 成人VR视频 students with exciting experiential learning opportunities through human rights internships, which see law students work with partners in every corner of the globe each summer, an international criminal justice clinic, and judicial clerkships.

Through public lectures, seminars, conferences, the Centre brings in distinguished voices from home and abroad often in collaboration with diverse student groups (see Events).聽 These events bridge the distance between a multitude of actors committed to protecting and promoting diversity in human rights.聽 The Centre also hosts prestigious lectureships on human rights honouring John Humphrey, Ren茅 Cassin, Robert S. Litvack, and Raoul Wallenberg which enable us to bring focus to pressing human rights challenges.
