Centre for Rights and Justice, Faculty of Law, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Centre for Rights and Justice (CRJ) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Faculty of Law was established in December 2010 to bring together and deepen the Faculty’s research and teaching on rights and justice. At present, CRJ has the following areas of focus: comparative constitutional law; criminal justice; environmental law; gender and the law; international human rights law; refugee law; and transitional justice. In light of its geographic position, CRJ addresses issues arising in its focus areas as they affect Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as other jurisdictions at the global level. An engagement with access to justice and advocacy also runs through our research in different areas.
