The Center for Human Rights of the National University of Lanus (CDHUNLa) works on research, teaching and promotion of human rights as a component of public policy and the democratic system

Through the Center, UNLa promotes and develops research which aims to construct an academic field in human rights in the context of contemporary issues and debates. The Center carries out research on the rights-based approach to public policies; the impact of international human rights at the local level, particularly on the federal organization; local government (municipal) policies and human rights; the role of the judiciary in the intersection between rights and policies; among others. Studies have also been developed on human rights and migration policies, in particular the human rights of irregular migrants and the rights of migrant children and adolescents.
