HRP Satter Fellowships

HRP has announced that it will be able to award one additional Satter Fellowship for Human Rights for the 2009-2010 year. Satter Fellows focus on human rights violations in countries such as those classified as “Not Free” in the Freedom House index. The fellowships are limited to work on the following areas: 1) situations of mass atrocity; 2) situations of widespread and severe violations of human rights such as crimes against humanity that may be associated with civil conflict, failed states, authoritarian leaders or other highly repressive regimes; 3) situations of transition in the aftermath of conditions that meet the criteria outlined in (1) or (2).

The Human Rights Program (HRP) seeks to give impetus and direction to international human rights work at Harvard Law School.

Now in its twenty-fourth year, the HRP fosters course work and participation of students in human rights activities through its summer fellowships, clinical work, speaker series, applied research and scholarship. The HRP advises students wishing to conduct research projects with human rights organizations, and provides counseling in the field.

The HRP also plans and directs international conferences and roundtables on the leading human rights issues and debates in the field.

Through these activities, the HRP seeks to make international human rights an integral part of a Harvard Law School education. It works to educate students who will be among the leaders of the human rights movement, and foster progress within the movement through its scholarship, engagement, criticism and suggestions.

Her timing was perfect.
