Thoughts on the programme

The M.A. Human Rights program at FAU caught my attention with its distinctive interdisciplinary approach, encompassing legal, political, and philosophical perspectives. Its setting in the historic city of Nuremberg adds an extra layer of significance. The professors and students come from diverse academic fields and countries, which greatly excited me due to the richness of perspectives and approaches brought into the classroom. This diversity enhances the educational experience significantly. My batch had the opportunity to travel to Geneva to attend the 55th Session of the Human Rights Council and meet with officials and experts in the field of human
rights. This practical engagement, in addition to the theoretical aspect, underscores the comprehensive approach intended for this program. I truly believe that enrolling in this program to further specialize in human rights from an international perspective has been an excellent decision. This experience will undoubtedly mark a significant turning point in my professional career.

Professional background

I am also a university lecturer at the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires. For several years, I have served within the Argentine public sector, initially within the Federal Executive Branch and later with the Office of the Public Prosecutor of Argentina, where I have dedicated my efforts to addressing various human rights violations. These include cases involving the illegal appropriation of children during
Argentina’s former dictatorship, human trafficking, and human rights violations within correctional, police, and judicial settings. In light of these experiences, I have assumed diverse roles with a dedicated emphasis on criminal and criminal procedural law, security and human rights policies, as well as criminal justice reform
initiatives.
