International Human Rights Law Program
The International Human Rights Law Program, founded in 2008, is an organization for human rights education, scholarship, advocacy, and policy-oriented research. It includes the Sanela Diana Jenkins International Justice Clinic, which assists in the apprehension and prosecution of alleged war criminals in Bosnia, initially focussing on the relations between Ratko Mladic, formerly head of the Bosnian Serb Army, and others accused of involvement in the Srebrenica massacre. Haris Silajdžić, President of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will work closely with the program. The faculty director is Richard Harold Steinberg and the executive director is David Kaye.

—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
