Harvard Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights

The Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights Policy is part of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.

The mission of the Carr-Ryan Center, like the Kennedy School, is to train future leaders for careers in public service and to apply first-class research to the solution of public policy problems.

Our research, teaching, and writing are guided by a commitment to make human rights principles central to the formulation of good public policy in the United States and throughout the world.
