Master of Philosophy in the Theory and Practice of Human Rights (master's - 2 years)

06.11.2007: The Norwegian Centre for Human Rights invites to a seminar this Thursday:

UN Human Rights Council for better or worse? The need for a success story. After a year in existence, there is room for assessment of the Council. What proposals and discussions are important in this process, and what observations can be made at this stage? Norway has presented its candidature to the Human Rights Council for the period 2009-2012.

We have asked Professor Walter Kälin, a distinguished international expert, to present his views on these matters. Walter Kälin is a Swiss citizen. He has served as an advisor to the Swiss government on several occasions specialising on UN matters in general and The Human Rights Council in particular.

Time: Thursday, November 8, 13:00 - 15:00Venue: The seminar room, Norwegian Centre for Human rights, Universitetsgaten 22- 24, 3rd floor More information: http://www.humanrights.uio.no/omenheten/seminar/other/kalin.html
