Human rights education and research as a cornerstone
High quality human rights education is essential for legislation and policy reform as well as for public understanding of the importance of human rights. With the publication of the International Human Rights Law (IHRL) textbook, and by organising numerous training activities around the country, the NCHR activities in China have contributed greatly to the promotion and diffusion of human rights studies in China.
We promote human rights education and research as a cornerstone of our activities in China and for the development of Chinese laws and policies, which contribute to an increased respect for human rights. We work to further the development of human rights law through education and research in Chinese universities and other institutions of higher learning. From a range of disciplines, we support Chinese research initiatives, engage in cooperative projects and provide opportunities for Chinese scholars in order to undertake research on human rights related issues through scholarships and research trainings.
