Human rights appointments for NUIG law professor Gerard Quinn.
Professor Gerard Quinn of the Law Faculty at NUI, Galway has been elected to two prestigious committees in recognition of his work on international disability law.
Professor Quinn, who is a member of the Irish Human Rights Commission, has been made the ‘focal point’ for the work of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) on disability. NHRIs are composed of human rights commissions or similar bodies from around the world and are co-ordinated by an International Coordinating Committee based in the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva.
