Human rights play a distinctive role as a "moral touchstone" in international life today. Whether conceived of as a system of transnational rules for regulating state behavior, a standard for the reform of domestic institutions, or a collection of widespread customary international norms, different concepts of rights underlie our expectations about life, personal security, health, education, work, fair treatment, and systems of government.

The Human Rights Project aims to raise the profile of human rights by fostering and supporting an inter-disciplinary environment for research, teaching, policy, and service at Stanford.
