The International Justice and Human Rights Centre is comprised of a small team of core Academic Members, who mostly specialise in international legal issues and human rights. In addition to these members, the Centre has Associate Members from departments across Edge Hill University, strong national and local connections, and distinguished external members. The team is supported by a our Graduate Teaching Assistants \/ PhD Candidates, who bring their new insights and creative approaches to our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Research Centre is a grouping of academics, experts, policy stakeholders, and others, that provides a forum for research collaboration, networks, discussion, and debate. It is undertaking a varied collection of projects, research, and support networks on issues relating to international justice and human rights that we hope will have a real world impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of our members have clear policy directions or ambitions in their research, while others seek to be more impartial and provide an independent source of international legal expertise. Either way, all contributions are welcomed and encouraged in our Centre to inform our work, and our primary goal is the pursuit and improvement of knowledge and expertise in international justice and human rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
