• To encourage and quip human rights lawyers in Africa, South America and Asia to build similar movements;


• To contribute to the emergence of a collaborative culture among human rights litigating sections of global civil society.

The Centre is seeking to recruit a director. Persons applying must have a background in human rights law education, as well as, a pro-social activist orientation.
