Report on Science and Human Rights

Winter 2003 Vol XXIII, No. 1

During the fall of 2002, the Science and Human Rights Program launched the Human Rights Data Analysis Group. We welcome Rafe Kaplan (software engineer) and Miguel Cruz (systems and networking expert) to AAAS; statistician Jana Asher will formally join HRDAG in a few months.

Together with Patrick Ball, the new staff members are developing extensive new software applications and providing technical assistance to many new projects, including the truth commissions in Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Peru, as well as to non-governmental data collection efforts looking at human rights violations in Chad.
