Łukasz Szoszkiewicz

I research how AI and neurotechnologies challenge human rights law, and I build practical tools for legal and human rights research.

I am an Assistant Professor at Adam Mickiewicz University, Director for European Affairs at The Neurorights Foundation, and a 2025-26 re:constitution fellow hosted by HURIDOCS.

Previously, I was a Fulbright Scholar at Columbia University’s Neurotechnology Center, where I focused on mental privacy and speech decoding. My work combines international human rights law, legal informatics, and computational social science.

UN Human Rights Database

Search what UN human rights mechanisms actually adopted, down to the paragraph.

320k+ paragraphs 6k+ documents Source-first citations

Also available through MCP

MCP is a connector that lets AI assistants search UNHRDB directly. Instead of inventing an answer, they can retrieve the exact UN passage, document symbol, and paragraph number.

Jul 10, 2026	🗳️ Released the HRC Voting dashboard — an interactive dashboard and reproducible dataset covering every roll-call vote of the UN Commission on Human Rights (1946–2006) and the Human Rights Council (2006–present): 6,346 resolutions and 80,159 individual country votes, harvested from the OHCHR Search Library. The dataset is archived on Zenodo (DOI) and the full harvesting pipeline is open source on GitHub.
Jul 9, 2026	🔌 The UN Human Rights Database now speaks MCP: mcp-unhrdb is an open-source Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude query ≈203,000 paragraphs across ≈4,900 UN documents — Treaty Body General Comments, jurisprudence, and Special Procedures reports — directly from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or claude.ai. Every result is a verbatim paragraph with its UN signature and ¶ number, so answers stay citable to the original document. Companion to the UN Human Rights Database search interface.
Jul 8, 2026	🇨🇭 In Geneva this week for AI for Good, the WSIS Forum, and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance. I’m joining the panel “From Data to Implementation: Scaling Digital Tools for Human Rights Monitoring,” co-hosted by the FNF Human Rights Hub, the Geneva Human Rights Hub (GHRH), and OHCHR — on scaling the kind of tools I build for UN treaty body documents. I’m also a guest at the GHRH booth at AI for Good.
May 11, 2026	📖 The UN Human Rights Database now covers 4,327 jurisprudence decisions from all 8 Optional Protocol treaty bodies — 98.4% of the OHCHR JURIS catalogue, including OCR-recovered scanned PDFs from the 1980s–90s.
