Survivors of atrocity have much to teach us about the root causes of gross human rights violations, and its impact upon survivors, their families, communities and future generations. We have a duty to learn from them in order to understand why societies and governments perpetrate such acts.

Following the Second World War, torture was universally outlawed but is now being reintroduced by western democracies. Even the relevance of the 1951 UN convention on the status of refugees is being questioned. A new generation is growing up in a climate where violation of certain people’s rights is acceptable.

We educate the public, policy makers and future generations about the risks of pursuing policies that ignore human rights. Our clinical and legal experts are frequently invited to speak to a wide range of audiences, including universities, schools, legal and clinical professionals, museums and various policy fora.
