Helen Bamber Centre for the Study of Rights, Conflict and Mass Violence

The Helen Bamber Centre for the Study of Rights, Conflict and Mass Violence was founded in 2004 to provide a focus for research and teaching in two related areas: human rights and international conflict. It is named in honour of the veteran human rights campaigner Helen Bamber, who has devoted her life to the victims of conflicts across the world, from the Holocaust to Chile to Iraq and beyond.

Mission

The Centre provides a forum for serious and sustained and practical reflection on major abuses of, and threats to, human rights in the modern world, and the kinds of international conflicts that often generate these. It aims to:

• Bring together academics, writers, policy-makers and activists who are concerned with these issues
• Analyse the causes, dynamics and effects of these abuses
• Promote, develop and shape swift and effective public and policy responses to them
