Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights is organizing the 16th International Summer School on Human Rights. The School will be held in Warsaw-Miedzeszyn, Poland, on 3 – 10 September 2005.

The School is intended for human rights activists, teachers, and young lawyers from Central, Eastern European and CIS countries. We can only invite those who have not yet participated in our Summer Schools.

Our program combines lectures and workshops on the historical and philosophical background of human rights, domestic and international systems of human rights protection, and aspects of some selected rights. (See attached program). The lectures will be conducted by distinguished professors and experts in the field of human rights and international law.

English and Russian are the languages of our Summer School. Ability to communicate well in one of the above languages is required.

Please submit the application form with a one-page curriculum vitae and letter of recommendation from your organization to our Foundation before 15 May 2005 (deadline) by e-mail or post.
