Munching on Human Rights Fall 2009
The Center's popular "Munching on Human Rights" series is back for another season of engaging and thought-provoking lunchtime lectures hosted by WCL faculty. This series is an introductory program designed particularly for 1Ls who are looking to get a "taste" of international human rights and humanitarian law during their first year of study. Topics will include an introduction to human rights treaty law, a discussion of the Universal Bill of Human Rights, and a primer on the law of war and rules of occupation.
Lectures will be held once a month (fall semester only)
and pizza will be served so bring your questions and your appetite! All students are welcome.
