In relation to the theme of Alumni Weekend 2011, “Human Rights in a Turbulent World,” a new exhibit highlighting selected titles from the law library collection illuminating global human rights issues around the world is launched in the Foreign and International Law Reading Room.
The exhibit consists of selected titles authored by the Law School Faculty, panel of speakers at Alumni Weekend, as well as other Yale affiliates examining a wide spectrum of pressing issues. They range from the evolving role of the media in human rights reporting, the infringement of Freedom of Speech and civil rights in times of political conflicts, challenges posed by cross-border migration, global history of genocide and the role played by international tribunals in the adjudication of human rights violations.
