Intern for the Center for Human Rights and the Environment (CEDHA), Argentina
Background
CEDHA is a non-profit organization based in Córdoba, Argentina. Founded in 1999, CEDHA's work focuses on how instances of environmental degradation are affecting the human rights of people in Argentina
and around the globe. Two of CEDHA's main priorities are: 1) Working to
change how countries throughout the world understand the interplay
between environmental issues and human rights violations;
and 2) Empowering victims of human rights violations by increasing
their access to legal information and giving them a legal voice. CEDHA
employees have prepared reports on various environmental/human rights issues
for such international bodies as the UN and the OAS, and recently
opened its Human Rights and Environment Legal Clinic to serve the
Cordoban population.
