University Human Rights Centers are centers established at universities for the purpose of promoting human rights and social justice locally, nationally, and globally through education, fieldwork, and other efforts. ==Human Rights Center – University of California, Berkeley== The Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley was established in 1994 as part of their School of Law.
