BackThe former Ombudsman of Bermuda, Ms. Arlene Brock, was granted a Fulbright Scholarship on Thursday, July 3rd of 2014.
As a result, she will soon spend a semester at the Northeastern School of Law in Boston, where she will conduct research and compose a paper on “Exploring the Frontiers of the Ombudsman Institutions”, in which she will carve out the possibilities for Ombudsmen to undertake complaints about internationally funded programmes in their home countries.
In reaction to this priviledge, Ms. Brock stated, “I am deeply honored to be awarded this opportunity. I am looking forward to working with the Law School at Northeastern University, which places a high premium on international human rights standards and principles. Hopefully, my paper will provide a preliminary template for how national Ombudsmen can assist international institutions and other funders to monitor projects on the ground.”
