Workshop on Translation and Interpreting for Human Rights
On Saturday, 28 May 2011, the University of Salford organises a workshop on Translating and Interpreting for Human Rights.
Language rights are enshrined in International Law and European legislation, and the mediation of translators and interpreters is crucial to securing such rights. Language mediation can occur at the level of international agencies, in the context of fact-finding missions in zones of conflict, or be related to public service interpreting (for instance asylum hearings and police interpreting).
