Human Rights Law, best choice?

I'd like to pursue an LLM in Human Rights Law next year and I've been looking at the top choices. Would you say that NYU, Columbia and Georgetown are still the best options out there? What about Yale and UCLA?

As a slightly different question, which of these offers the best cost/benefit ratio? (i.e. the best bang for your back?).

Georgetown and Columbia certainly stand out, as well as American University Washington College of Law and NDLS. If you're looking for a more affordable program, John Jay College of Criminal Justice is a good option.

Columbia and Georgetown by far. Specially Columbia because its location (most of the major int organizations in USA are headquartered in NY).
