On June 24, the AAAS hosted a webcast highlighting the organization's human rights efforts and urged individuals and science-related organizations to join the initiatives. Among these activities are an effort to use satellite and other geographic imaging technology to monitor and document human rights violations in remote or difficult-to-reach regions, a coalition bringing together scientific organizations to work on human rights issues, and a program that allows individuals to volunteer their expertise to human rights organizations.
