I attended several conferences featuring Erendira’s as guest speaker where she demonstrated her depth of knowledge and expertise on the topic of International Human Rights Law. Her ability to clearly present and discuss complex legal topics showed her erudition, rigor and practical approach to speaking to both legal scholars and individuals interested in the application of human rights principles in diverse sectors. I highly recommend Erendira as a qualified expert on the subject of international human rights law.
