Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights

The Pozen Family Center for Human Rights celebrated its 25th anniversary with a cross-disciplinary colloquium examining the challenges facing the implementation of human rights in the global community. The evening brought together a distinguished panel of scholars and practitioners whose work reflects both the politics and promise of the human rights project. Their insights addressed emerging trends, new tools, and the need for greater accountability. And they called for greater engagement among academics and activists to address an increasingly complex human rights landscape.
