The Human Rights cluster is dedicated to advancing research on critical human rights issues, with a particular focus on innovative methodologies that bridge law, technology, and justice. This cluster explores the role of emerging tools in improving access to justice, strengthening human rights protections, and supporting equitable responses to complex legal challenges. Central to its mission is addressing the impacts of conflict and displacement, particularly through advancing frameworks that assess and respond to human rights violations. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches, this cluster seeks to contribute to more resilient legal systems that uphold human dignity and support effective remedies for those affected by crises.
Here are two topical paths for Cluster 1: Human Rights that align with its focus on AI, case law, and war damage compensation:
Leveraging AI for Consistent and Fair Application of Human Rights Standards in Case Law
As legal systems increasingly rely on AI tools to manage and analyze vast amounts of judicial data, one critical issue is ensuring that AI algorithms are trained to uphold consistent human rights standards across cases. This includes addressing bias, ensuring transparency in AI-driven decisions, and developing guidelines that promote fair, non-discriminatory outcomes. Research in this area focuses on refining AI tools to aid in human rights case analysis while upholding ethical and legal standards, especially in contexts involving vulnerable populations affected by conflict.

Establishing Fair Compensation Mechanisms for War Damages in International Law
The challenges of assessing, litigating, and compensating war-related damages continue to be a pressing issue, particularly in conflict zones where human rights are at severe risk. Developing a standardized framework for evaluating damages and providing fair compensation to victims requires in-depth analysis of both legal precedents and AI's potential role in managing claims. This issue emphasizes creating robust legal methodologies that align with international human rights standards and support justice for those who have suffered losses due to war, displacement, and related human rights violations.
