The Human Rights Centre at the Faculty of Law and Criminology at Ghent University brings together the researchers and teachers in the faculty who engage with human rights. Our members have backgrounds in many fields of human rights law, as well as in a variety of social and political sciences. Members work on a wide range of substantive issues, including freedom of expression, gender, minority rights and transitional justice. Procedural matters receive great attention too, including access to justice and evidentiary challenges. Members also actively engage with human rights practice by supervising clinical projects and submitting third-party interventions to. supranational jurisdictions and UN and other monitoring bodies.
