[hr-education] 2004-2005 Humphrey Law and Human Rights Fellows

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

We would appreciate your help in circulating this announcement on to your
international colleagues and friends, who may be interested in this
opportunity!
