Carr Center for Human Rights Policy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy is research center concerned with human rights. It is located at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
The mission of the Carr Center "is to train future leaders for careers in public service and to apply first-class research to the solution of public policy problems". Its research, teaching and writing are guided by a commitment to make human rights principles central to the formulation of public policy throughout the world.
The center was founded in 1999 by Kennedy School alumnus Greg Carr. It has since developed a focus on genocide, mass atrocity, state failure and the ethics and politics of military intervention.
From 2000-2005, the center was directed by Michael Ignatieff. The current director is Sarah Sewall. Fellows who are or have been associated with the center include Samantha Power, William Arkin, Roméo Dallaire, Caroline Elkins, Sally Fegan-Wyles, Omer Ismail, Andrea Rossi, Beena Sarwar, William F. Schulz, Taslima Nasrin, and Rory Stewart.
