Background: The Human Rights Program (HRP) at Harvard Law School has a stated commitment to fostering critical as well as applied scholarship on National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs).

These conferences have focused on, among other things, potential linkages between universities and NHRIs – including both academic research and opportunities for clinical projects. Typically background papers were prepared by HRP with Harvard Law School students, or by the NHRI participants, on selected topics (such as the role of NHRIs and national security; standards for monitoring NHRIs; and an assessment of scholarship on NHRIs). More information on HRP's NHRI initiative can be found at www.law.harvard.edu/programs/hrp/nhris.html.
