Reproduction: An Issue of Human Rights in Conjunction with the BIOS Centre
Event Details
The Centre for the Study of Human Rights is delighted to announce its Autumn term events programme, brief details of which are set out below.
As ever, a wide range of issues will be examined during this lecture series, including human rights in China, refugee law and refugeehood, and the experience of human rights monitors in Iran and Uganda.
