The mission of CAHR is to facilitate interdisciplinary human rights courses, research, and events as well as engage in direct community and global human rights advocacy. The issuance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 began what some have called “The Human Rights Revolution.” Since that time, the human rights movement has become a global phenomenon, challenging people and governments everywhere to guarantee the basic rights of all the world’s citizens. As part of that Human Rights Revolution, Florida State University in 2000 established the Center for the Advancement of Human Rights. The Center has the mandate of: Facilitating the development of interdisciplinary human rights courses throughout the university and of fostering human rights scholarship; Establishing human rights field placements for FSU students and engaging in direct human rights advocacy; Supporting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) throughout the world that engage in human rights work.
