1MCB Chambers congratulates Soraya Bauwens on her recent election to the executive committee of the Bar Human Rights Committee (BHRC).
The BHRC seeks to protect and promote international human rights through the rule of law, by using the international human rights law expertise of some of the UK’s most experienced human rights barristers. It elects an executive committee every two years to lead on the policy, strategy and delivery of its work.
Soraya practises in crime, international human rights and international criminal law, with a focus on representing victims of egregious human rights abuses. She is currently on sabbatical, serving as Deputy Director of Reprieve.
