Comments: The Human Rights Research and Education Centre has been delivering an active and extensive program out of the University of Ottawa, Canada, since May 1981. Ottawa is a natural site for such an institute: in the nation's capital, at a university committed to bilingualism and associated with a law faculty that serves in both the Civil and Common law traditions. The Centre is committed to furthering the discussion of the linkages between human rights, governance, legal reform and development; supporting national human rights institutions in Canada and abroad; evaluating and working to improve domestic social justice institutions and programs; and engaging in multidisciplinary research and education in the above areas. For more information, please contact Dr. Hamid Jorjani, Director, International Research, at 613.562.5800 ext. 2010 or visit www.uottawa.ca/hrrec or www.fulbright.ca.
