This talk will feature Charles Moyer, the former Assistant Executive Secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and Registrar of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Drawing from his illustrious career devoted to the international protection of human rights, Moyer will reflect on the development of the inter-American system for human rights and consider its current outlook amid contemporary challenges. Charles Moyer is a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Law. After law school, he worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Venezuela and a legal aid attorney, before becoming a staff lawyer at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. He was the first U.S. national to serve as the Executive Secretary of the Commission and later served as the Registrar of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights from 1980 to 1989. From 1989 to 2024, Moyer held various roles at the Inter-American Institute of Human Rights. Since 2012, the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice has awarded the Charles Moyer Human Rights Fellowship to Texas Law students through the generous support of Scott Hendler and Lulu Flores of Hendler Flores Law, PLLC, an international plaintiffs' trial firm based in Austin, Texas.

The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice and the Sissy Farenthold Fund for Peace and Social Justice will hold an anniversary gala in Austin on Thursday, April 24, 2025, marking 20 years since the Center’s founding and 10 years since the Center launched the digital exhibition of the life and work of Frances Tarlton “Sissy” Farenthold. Please join us to celebrate 20 years of work at the intersection of academics and advocacy that has both engaged and fostered the next generation of social justice leaders.

The Rapoport Center was inaugurated in 2005, made possible through the generosity of Bernard and Audre Rapoport, who were lifelong supporters of immigration justice, labor rights, reproductive rights, and educational attainment. Over the past two decades, the Center’s work has reflected these commitments, with faculty and students collaborating with community and NGO partners in the global North and South to produce innovative and enduring change in areas ranging from inequality and the future of work to the rise of xenophobia globally.

The Sissy Farenthold Fund was established in 2021 by the family and friends of trailblazing Texas politician and long-time leading feminist and social justice activist Sissy Farenthold, who was also an important friend and advisor to the Center. The Fund has allowed the Center to expand its research, advocacy, and programming on issues to which Sissy was committed, including peace, reproductive justice, and environmental justice.
