About International Peace and Human Rights / Humanitarian Law Study Group

International Peace and Human Rights/Humanitarian Law Study Group is an academic and practical arena where international peace and justice issues can be freely discussed. This project consists of two activities, the "International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law Project" and the "International Human Rights Workshop," which have been undertaken in Associate Professor Hiroshige Fujii's laboratory at the School of International Studies since 2018. Graduate and undergraduate students also proactively participate in planning and managing these activities, including implementing various public seminars and symposiums held as learning opportunities related to these activities. This project collaborates with the "Utsunomiya International Peace and Justice," a student club activity established in 2018 as a related organization.

From 2019 onward, this project provides opportunities for students to actively participate in off-campus competitions, including annual participation in the national rounds of the International Humanitarian Law Moot Court and Role Play Competitions organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). In addition, this project is committed to contributing to the local community and conducts workshops on the SDGs and children's rights for elementary, junior high, and high school students. If interested, please contact the representative faculty member, Associate Professor Fujii.
