Within the human rights revolution that is affecting and changing the world, the members of the Human Rights Interest Group work in the interface between research and activism, between law teaching and law practice, and between observation and participation. The HRIG provides a means for communication between hundreds of human rights academics, advocates and practitioners before intergovernmental bodies around the world. The group's activities include publishing a twice-annual newsletter, sponsoring panels and lectures on timely international human rights topics, and organizing a human rights reception at the ASIL Annual Meeting. Interest Group members have ongoing opportunities through meetings and the list serve to network with others in the field, discuss issues and recent developments in the field of human rights, build on each other's research and experience, and find partners in the cause of human rights.
