What is the Human Rights Resource Center?
The University of Minnesota Human Rights Center was inaugurated in December 1988 on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The principal focus of the Human Rights Center is to help train effective human rights professionals and volunteers. The Human Rights Center assists human rights advocates, monitors, students, and educators through five primary programs: applied human rights research, educational tools, field and training opportunities, human rights on-line, and learning communities and partnerships.
