About Foundation Rene Cassin-International Institute for Human Rights
True to the vision and the work of Rene Cassin, the Foundation has been created by a decree published in 2015. This new Foundation replaced the International institute of Human Rights and takes its full name of International Institute of Human Rights- Foundation Rene Cassin. It aims to implement the defense and the promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms through teaching and research in complete independence and in a scientific spirit. This Foundation is chaired by Jean-Paul Costa and it is based in Strasbourg, symbolic city of the rule of law and human rights. Independent and apolitical, it embodies a bridge between the European Court of Human Rights, the Council of Europe and the University of Strasbourg while staying distinct from these entities.
