OPPORTUNITY:
2004-05 HUMPHREY LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS FELLOWS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
We are pleased to announce an opportunity for five
or six fellowships in law and human rights for the
August 2004 - May 2005 academic year. The fellowships
are open to mid-career human rights advocates and
lawyers from designated developing nations and emerging
democracies who want to study human rights law, other
relevant law courses, public policy, and administration
as well as to undertake a
professional affiliation in their particular areas
of interest. We invite you to consider taking advantage
of this opportunity to be a participant in this outstanding
fellowship program. The Humphrey Fellowship program
was founded over 25 years ago and has had over 3,000
global leaders participate during that time.
In 2003, we launched a new law and human rights component
to the International Humphrey Fellows program at the
University of Minnesota. This collaborative program
allows Humphrey Fellows to continue their professional
development and career work in the fields of law and
human rights as well as to fulfill the program goals
in public policy and administration.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship is a year-long,
non-degree program with an emphasis on developing
professional affiliations and networking. The five
or six Humphrey Law and Human Rights Fellows selected
to participate will spend their year in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Beyond the academic and professional activities,
participants learn about the United States, its society,
customs, history, culture, and government. Participants
also share knowledge of their own countries. We encourage
you to explore the Web sites listed
in this announcement and learn about the Human Rights
Center (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/hrcenter.htm)
and at the University of Minnesota Law School (http://www.law.umn.edu).
You might also want to access the University of Minnesota
Human Rights Library
(http://www.umn.edu/humanrts)
with its core collection of human rights treaties
and other human rights materials in Arabic, English,
French, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.
Applicants need to apply at the U.S. Embassy in their
home country. Act quickly as the deadline differs
by country. For more information check out this Web
site: http://www.iie.org/Template.cfm?&Template=/programs/hhh/fellinf.htm.
We would appreciate your help in circulating this
announcement on to your international colleagues and
friends, who may be interested in this opportunity!
