Current Projects

Rightslink performs research projects for various NGOs, both within the United States and around the world. This page lists some of our ongoing projects in Fall 2011.

• Performing comparative research on lawyer registration mechanisms, particularly in continental Europe, to promote reform of the Chinese system, which has become a means of chilling human rights and criminal defense work.
• Translating Liberian concessions contracts into plain language in order to better inform rural communities regarding industrial agriculture, logging, and mining companies' expansion plans, the possibility that their communities will be resettled in the future, the provisions in place to compensate them for this displacement, and companies' obligations to protect human rights and the environment.

If your organization would like to request research from Rightslink, please submit a research request form or contact us for more information.
