Human Rights for Future Generations website launch

This month sees the launch of the new website for the Oxford Martin Programme on Human Rights for Future Generations (HRFG), an interdisciplinary research programme hosted by the Law Faculty that aims to contribute to academic and policy thinking on the human rights dimensions of poverty, armed conflict and environmental change.

Drawing on the disciplines of law, philosophy, and international relations, the programme investigates the existing normative, legal and institutional human rights framework to face these challenges.

This project aims to advance a new framework built on ethical, legal, and political dimensions that will help translate theory into real legal and policy solutions onthese issues. HRFG hosts regular events, including a guest speaker series (http://www.humanrights.ox.ac.uk/events), where prominent academics, practitioners and commentators are invited to deliver guest lectures that engage with human rights topics in innovative and stimulating ways.

HRFG is co-directed by Professor Simon Caney, Professor in Political Theory, Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR), with Professor Sandra Fredman (Faculty of Law) and Dapo Akande (Faculty of Law). Professor Jennifer Welsh, Professor in International Relations, DPIR and Co-director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict (ELAC), is Co-investigator.
