Overview

Originally founded in 1999 as the War Crimes Studies Center at UC Berkeley, the Handa Center was moved in 2014 to Stanford University with the generous support of Dr. Haruhisa Handa and his foundation, Worldwide Support for Development (WSD). Today, the Handa Center equips a new generation of leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect and promote human rights and dignity for all. Reflecting a deep commitment to international justice and the rule of law, the Center collaborates with partners across Stanford University and beyond on innovative programs that foster critical inquiry in the classroom and in the world.
