Scientific Trip: Independent Human Rights Commission

In continuation of the scientific trip, the Faculty of Law at Tishk International University organized a scientific trip to the Independent Human Rights Commission in the region as part of its academic plan at Tishk International University–Erbil. On 20 January 2026, fourth-year law students participated in the visit, which aimed to strengthen the practical dimension of legal education and to link theoretical study with real-world application.

The delegation was formally received by officials of the Commission, who delivered an academic lecture outlining the Commission’s mandates and its role in the protection of human rights, with particular emphasis on the rights of the accused at the various stages of criminal proceedings. An open discussion session was held, allowing students to engage through questions and dialogue.

The visit contributed to enhancing students’ legal and human rights awareness and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
