The Nordic Seminar on National Institutions in the Nordic setting. The Nordic human rights institutions have a long tradition in organizing biennial seminars where academics, practitioners, NGO-representatives and others meet to discuss current human rights issues. In 2007, the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights in Oslo organized such a seminar under the heading” The Human Rights Architecture”. This year, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute in Lund is in turn to invite to a seminar. It’s timely since the Institute celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009. This seminar is not an open seminar but for invited guests only. For further information please contact Mrs. Susanne Svensson at susanne.svensson@rwi.lu.se
