Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law

This is the official YouTube channel of the Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law at American University Washington College of Law. Here we share recordings of our events, including Human Rights Month panels, academic conferences, and the Final Rounds of the Inter-American Human Rights Moot Court Competition.

The Academy promotes practical approaches to human rights and humanitarian law, strengthening connections between practitioners, organizations, and scholars worldwide. Through its programs and partnerships, it provides training and fosters dialogue to advance the global impact of human rights.

Based at AUWCL, a leading institution in international law and a place where the world meets to study law, the Academy works primarily in English and Spanish and engages participants globally.

Its core programs include the LL.M. in Human Rights and IHL, the Program of Advanced Studies, and the Inter-American Moot Court Competition, alongside other academic initiatives.
