Cameron Witbeck (he/him) is HRI’s 2026-2027 Georgetown Partner Fellow. Before joining HRI, Cameron worked for the Investor Advocates for Social Justice (IASJ), where he joined stakeholders seeking to hold institutional actors accountable for their human rights due diligence, and the Legal Aid Justice Center (LAJC), where he provided legal support to people incarcerated at the Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women.

As a member of the Human Rights Advocacy in Action Practicum, Cameron assisted in the drafting of a proposed plan to advocate for the paying of reparations to Haiti resulting from the 1825 “Independence Debt”. In particular, Cameron joined a team of students whose focus was to understand the challenges and potentials of advocating to a French audience. This included researching French law as it relates to reparations and interviewing key stakeholders living in France. Cameron later used the skills obtained from the Practicum to advocate against the use of patrol dogs in the Virginia Department of Corrections as a student attorney in Georgetown’s Civil Rights Clinic.

Prior to entering law school, Cameron received a B.A. in Global Studies and Human Rights from the University of Chicago and worked in the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section.

Cameron expects to be admitted by the D.C. Bar later this fall.
