Our Mission

The Center for Human Rights and Global Justice was established in 2002 to bring together and expand the rich array of teaching, research, clinical, internship, and publishing activities undertaken within NYU Law on issues of international human rights law. CHRGJ is committed to critical introspection in its research and advocacy. It aims to generate substantive and cutting-edge contributions to human rights research and legal scholarship on the part of faculty, staff, students, fellows and visitors; actively engage in public affairs; and make original and constructive contributions to ongoing public debates relating to human rights. CHRGJ carries out this mandate with a talented team of scholars and advocates, working under the interdisciplinary direction of four faculty directors renowned in their fields.
