The Edelstam Institute of Education for Human Rights and International Affairs
The Edelstam Institute is an independent institution whose mission is to conduct research and educate governments worldwide and their diplomats about Human Rights, Responsibility to Protect, and International Affairs.
The Edelstam Institute’s educational programs offers theory, -practice, and –discussion interaction in order to benefit from the participants’ experience, but also to get a more hands-on knowledge on how to work in times of human crisis, and how diplomacy and the civil society can interact faster when crimes and violations of human rights arise. We are committed to fostering dialogue.
