The Essex Human Rights Centre Blog
The Human Rights Centre blog seeks to publish posts relating to the theory and practice of human rights, looking at both contemporary events and longstanding issues in times of peace, instability, and in conflict and post-conflict settings. Our goal is to present a blog that provides interesting commentary of relevance to practitioners, students, academics, and those interested in human rights.
The blog is also your shortcut to see the Human Rights Centre’s past and future activities and events.
Additionally, our RightsCast brings you discussion on a wide range of contemporary and enduring human rights issues from the University of Essex Human Rights Centre.
Bringing together diverse voices from all over the world, we apply a human rights lens to better understand current events, to discuss key issues, and to explore how to achieve social change.
From grassroots movements to major international affairs, join us each week as we talk to the people behind the stories and seek to create a dialogue around the role of human rights in our daily lives.
