Human Rights Centre Blog
The Human Rights Centre blog seeks to publish posts relating to the theory and practice of human rights, looking at both contemporary events and longstanding issues in times of peace, instability, and in conflict and post-conflict settings. Our goal is to present a blog that provides interesting commentary of relevance to practitioners, students, academics, and those interested in human rights.

New Report from our Fellow, Daniela Baro
We are very pleased to share Daniela Baro's new Discussion Paper: "Collecting Children’s Personal Data for Counterterrorism Purposes: In Children’s Best Interests? Children with Alleged, Past, or Family Links to Armed Groups". This paper reflects research Daniela completed during her fellowship at the HRC. We hope it generates the discussion and reflection it deserves.
