International Human Rights Day December 10

December 10 of each year is celebrated around the world as “Human Rights Day”. The State Bar of Texas created the International Human Rights Committee (IHRC) in August 2015, the first of its kind among state bars, with the goals to study legal issues related to international human rights, inform Texas lawyers of these issues, and provide guidance to these Texas lawyers.
