Britain’s representative Sir Nigel Rodley is Professor of Law and Chair, Human Rights Centre, University of Essex. His term on the Committee is completed at the end of 2008. The American member Ruth Wedgwood ends her term December 31 2006.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.opendemocracy.net/blog/sarah_lindon_opendemocracy_net/un_human_rights_committee" class="read-more" title="Read the rest of this posting.">Read the rest of this post...</a><p><a href="http://www.opendemocracy.net/blog/sarah_lindon_opendemocracy_net/un_human_rights_committee">read more</a></p> http://www.opendemocracy.net/blog/sarah_lindon_opendemocracy_net/un_human_rights_committee#comment Women Making a Difference 5050 Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:04:38 +0100 sarah.lindon@opendemocracy.net 18238 at http://www.opendemocracy.net
