THREAD: This week, a ND Law School delegation returns to Cape Town, South Africa for an official MOU signing with @UCT_news.
2/ The trip began with a conference led by Prof. Michael Addo, Director of the ND London Law Programme, focusing on a comparative research study on human rights oversight in private detention facilities in the UK and South Africa.
3/ The conference, "Monitoring Privately Run Detention Centres: What We Don’t Know," brought together partners from @BristolUni, @APCOF in South Africa, @Omega_RF , the @SAHRCommission,@JICS_ZA, @Min_JCS and the Ombudspersons for Health and the Military.
