Indiana Law Human Rights Program Gets U.N. Recognition…
By Jamie Bence
Congratulations to our friends at Indiana University School of Law! Their Program in International Human Rights has been awarded “special consultative status” by the United Nations, according to Law.com.
The Program, which was founded in 1997, has researched numerous human rights violations around the world, sending students to New York and Geneva to share their findings with the United Nations. This designation will give students additional access to UN resources and, the school hopes, continue to draw aspiring human rights advocates to the campus.
The successful end to a 5 year application process joins the Program for International Human Rights with 2,000 organizations in over 200 countries, which serve as special consults to the U.N.
