Human Rights Law Centre, Nottingham

Description

The Human Rights Law Centre (HRLC) is committed to promoting and protecting human rights, as well as strengthening the rule of law worldwide through research, training, publications, knowledge exchange and capacity-building. HRLC's work is funded by numerous foundations, academic funds, governments and IGOs.

Founded in 1993, the HRLC originally sought to conduct human rights research in the countries of the former USSR and provide training to the judiciary and law enforcement agencies in that region. From this beginning, the centre has grown to accommodate the key human rights challenges experienced in the increasingly globalised world.

Current research areas include the promotion and protection of human rights in conflict and post-conflict situations, UN treaty body reform, transitional justice, the International Criminal Court, economic, social and cultural rights, human rights, trade and business, forced migration, and the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Human Rights Law Centre includes six research units which are reflective of collective expertise.

These are: Business, Trade and Human Rights, Civil and Political Rights, Economic and Social Rights, European Human Rights Law, Forced Migration, and International Criminal Justice.
