Conferences
Fredy Peccerelli, Dianne Otto, and Patricia Viseur Sellers discuss the impact of the anti-impunity focus during the concluding panel at the Rapoport Center's ninth annual conference Impunity, Justice and the Human Rights Agenda, February 2013
The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice has made strong efforts to explore the intersection of international human rights study and advocacy through the hosting of various conferences. The Rapoport Center also engages human rights faculty, staff and students in dialogue, reflection, and evaluation of the diversity of international and transnational human rights issues in which UT campuses are involved. The Center hopes to use these conferences to consider the state of human rights theory and practice and their possible future trajectories.
