Castan Centre for Human Rights Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Castan Centre is located within the Monash University Law Faculty in Victoria Australia. It was established in 2000 to meet the need for, and interest in, the study of human rights law, globally, regionally and in Australia. It brings together the work of national and international human rights scholars, practitioners and advocates from a wide range of disciplines in order to promote and protect human rights.
The Centre’s main activities are research, teaching, public education (lectures, seminars, conferences, parliamentary submissions, internships and media presentations), applied research, advice work and consultancies. The Centre is named after Ron Castan AM QC (1939-1999), a distingushed barrister who was a passionate advocate of human rights..
