Overview
Stanford University’s WSD Handa Center for Human Rights and International Justice provides a new generation of leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect and promote human rights and dignity for all. The center seeks to create a global resource built around a comprehensive digital collection of the records of human rights and war crime trials from Nuremberg and Tokyo to today. The collection, which will be housed at Stanford Libraries, will also encompass selected records from truth commissions, human rights investigations, and other forms of documentation of gross human rights violations from countries that lack the capacity to preserve and make these records accessible, or from countries where they are at risk.
