International Perspectives on Human Rights (organized by CICS and the Institute for the Humanities) promotes reflection, debate, and scholarship in the vast and controversial field of human rights.

Our mission is to address human rights globally and comparatively, to forge connections between existing human rights projects, to promote dialogue between scholars and human rights practitioners, and create alliances between academic institutions and non-governmental organizations.

In these ways, the program shares University expertise and resources with the broader intellectual and professional community at both local and international levels.
