Human Rights Defenders in Côte d'Ivoire
In January 2012, Assistant Professor Dustin Sharp traveled to Côte d'Ivoire to conduct a training with some of the country's leading human rights defenders. Over the course of the coming year, Professor Sharp will continue to mentor select human rights organizations in West Africa as they work to document persistent human rights problems stemming from years of armed conflict.
