Acclaimed human rights law experts Richard Dicker and Ralph Wilde taught Spring 2019 short courses on international justice at UCLA Law.

Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch's International Justice Program since 2001, taught Prospects for International Justice. Dicker's vast experience in international human rights includes leading a multi-year campaign to establish the International Criminal Court, monitoring the trial of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague and pursuit of charges of human rights violations against the Iraqi government for its treatment of Kurds. Affiliated with UCLA Law since 2017, Dicker will return to teach a course in the Spring Semester 2020.
