The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Oxford
The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights (BIHR), inspired by the vision of the Principal of Mansfield College, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, and created with the support of the A. G. Leventis Foundation, is a research institute of the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford. Inaugural Director Justice Catherine O’Regan was appointed in October 2016, and starting October 2017 the Institute will be housed at Mansfield College, with the aim of fostering excellent research and scholarship in human rights law and improving the understanding of human rights law beyond the academy. In this light, the Institute aims to integrate existing human rights research and practice within the Faculty of Law, to host a cohort of outstanding visiting scholars and practitioners, and to collaborate with human rights scholars in other disciplines and with legal practitioners engaged in human rights work across the world.
