Overview

The Humanitarian and Human Rights Resource Center (HHRRC) of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) with support from the National Institute of Justice's Forensic Technology Center of Excellence provides needed resources and support to apply modern forensic science to global humanitarian and human rights projects. The assistance provided by the HHRRC in developing and evaluating technologies for humanitarian forensic applications promotes the global application of contemporary forensic science and forensic medicine principles. The webinar series highlights projects selected by the International Advisory Council of the HHRRC that further the application of forensic science to global humanitarian and human rights issues.

Funding for the HHRRC is provided collaboratively through the American Academy of Forensic Science and NIJ’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.
