Noah Bullock

Noah Bullock

Director Ejecutivo

Noah first came to El Salvador as a human rights intern for Cristosal in 2005 after graduating from the University of Montana in Peace and Conflict Studies.  

In 2007, Noah became the Director of the Community Development Program. Three years later, he became the first Executive Director in the country of Cristosal, in addition to obtaining a postgraduate certificate in Local Development from the University of Central America José Simeón Cañas (UCA).

At the heart of Cristosal’s mission Noah envisions the challenge of redefining human rights mechanisms and state responses to address today’s threats to human rights. “I was taught that Human Rights are an historical process. Each generation must be able to understand human rights and violations in its own time. Times have changed significantly since these frameworks were first established and we now must find ways to apply these same principles in programming to address the human rights challenges of today.
