The Kennedy School of Government's Executive Session on Human Rights Commissions and Criminal Justice brought together human rights, civil rights and police leaders from across the United States for a series of discussions about how to expand the role of human rights commissions in addressing issues of discrimination in U.S. criminal justice systems. In addition, the project sought to strengthen the ways that state and local governments respond to violations of the rights of people involved with the criminal justice system by documenting innovative work of individual commissions and conducting research on emerging practices.
