2006 Castan Centre Global Interns

The Castan Centre awarded four internships to Monash law students who had shown a strong and continuing interest in the area of human rights. These internships took place late 2005/early 2006 at Human Rights First in New York City, the Asian Commission for Human Rights in Hong Kong and the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva.

These four students were given the unique opportunity to experience and contribute to international human rights organisations first hand. To find out more about the organisations, the background of the Castan interns, an account of their day-to-day experiences as an intern and a final report, please see the intern profiles below.
