Welcome to the website for the the Atlantic Human Rights Centre.

The Atlantic Human Rights Research and Development Centre was established to promote and develop multidisciplinary teaching and research in the area of human rights at the regional, national, and international levels. The centre promotes and stimulates informed
thinking about human rights and their implication for law and society through excellence in analysis and research. In accordance with its objectives, AHRC conducts a wide assortment of activities, including the two annual lectures by distinguished human rights speakers: the Dr. Bernie Vigod Memorial Lecture in Human Rights in the fall semester and the Dr. Abdul Lodhi Lecture in the winter semester. The Centre conducts an intensive summer
course for teachers on teaching for and about human rights. The AHRC also is home to the new St. Thomas University Holocaust Centre. More details will soon be released on this.

We hope that you find this website informative and useful. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
