CenterLaw regularly publishes educational resources on international criminal law and human rights law. This page also hosts select legal submissions to domestic and international judicial and investigative fora.

Through this focus, we amplify marginalized voices, and supplement actionable advocacy through strategic litigation and policy recommendations to domestic lawmakers and the international community.
