“The Dignity Rights Practicum is an innovative and exciting initiative for students to support the work of leading human rights organizations. Under the leadership of Professors May and Daly, the Practicum has allowed my organization to examine critical questions of corporate accountability, such as “Do Corporations Have a Legal Obligation to Respect Human Dignity?”

This Practicum is a one-of-a-kind program and students should benefit from it.”

“There is a general attitude among US policymakers that international human rights are somehow foreign to domestic law and practice. But as the Dignity Rights Practicum convincingly demonstrates, the common core value of protecting human dignity is in fact deeply shared.  As President Carter once said: “America did not invent human rights, instead in a real sense, human rights invented America.”
