ACHRE is pleased to inform you that the international conferences on Human Rights Education (IHRE) Dr Ozdowski initiated in 2010 in Sydney continue to advance human rights culture world-wide. The Fifth IHRE conference will be held at the American University Washington College of Law in Washington DC USA on 4-6 December 2014 and is entitled: The Fifth International Human Rights Education Conference: ‘Advancing UNiversal Human Rights Culture’.
The conference title is broad and applying to as many people (not only lawyers) working in HRE as possible, with some focus on UN (keeping UN in capitals as a part of universal is not a mistake). Please save the date in your calendars – I hope that at least some of you would be able to attend.
Professor Claudio Grossman, Raymond Geraldson Scholar for International and Humanitarian Law, Dean, American University Washington College of Law and Chairperson of the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) will serve as the Conference Convenor. The Conference Advisory Group membership is available here .
The conference website is under construction by the conference management team under the leadership of Ms Jennifer Dabson, Director, Office of Special Events and Continuing Legal Education, American University Washington College of Law. We hope that the formal call for papers will be issued in early June.
