Here at the UCL Student Human Rights Programme there is good reason to be excited; with over 100 new student members from a range of UCL Departments, we are hotly pursuing our objective of fostering a human rights culture within UCL and beyond.
Our established projects have borne marvellous fruit, and the Programme’s website - UCLSHRP Live - is simmering on the hob ready to be revealed in early November. Contents include The Exchange, an online human rights discussion forum, a multimedia archive of all of our activities and the Live! editions of both The UCLSHRP Bulletin and The UCL Human Rights Review.
New projects initiated by students in autumn 2008 are simply stunning, including the UCL ECHR Moot where the finals will be held in front of Judges Rosakis, Spielman and Tulkens in the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights; and the inter-disciplinary Rights through Research 2009 project, which is under construction with a team of students establishing a fresh approach to human rights.
We hope these initiatives take us all one step closer to a human rights culture.
