Glad to see a great turnout for Professor Méndez's talk!
We were honored to have Professor Méndez's talk about the role of international human rights law in past and current affairs and his experience as a UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment from 2010-2016. A very insightful talk.
