The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) is an

of the Second World War. In legal terms the Institute is a charitable trust under Swedish
private law and is governed by a board of trustees. Established in 1984 at the Faculty of Law
at Lund University, Sweden, the Institute is currently involved in organising three Master
Programmes and an interdisciplinary human rights programme at the undergraduate level.

research and publication activities, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute provides researchers and
students with a conducive study environment. 15
