Regional Programmes
Our regional programmes operate in Africa, the Commonwealth, Central and Eastern Europe and South Asia,
through which we provide technical advice and assistance to strengthen capacity and develop jurisprudence in
each region. Programmes are developed in consultation with lawyers, judges, NGOs and others and generally
combine casework, education and training, institutional development and provision of resources. Through them
we aim to provide expert advice and assistance to those defending human rights through law, to strengthen
capacity in the use of human rights law, to improve the functioning and use of existing mechanisms and to
develop positive human rights case law in each region and internationally.
Thematic Programmes
Designed to improve legal protection of certain key rights worldwide through development of jurisprudence,
strengthening relevant mechanisms and providing education and training. Those rights are to freedom of
expression, liberty and security,
equality and economic and social rights. In a special initiative,
INTERIGHTS
introduced a process to ensure that special attention is paid to gender related issues in all
INTERIGHTS'
programmes, and in late 2001, established the Equality Programme "to
promote equality litigation and
training to combat discrimination worldwide". In other areas, work is conducted primarily under the
regional programmes.
Information Resources
On case law and developments in human rights law of practical use to lawyers, judges and human rights NGOs
and others attempting to protect rights through law. One of the chief barriers to effective implementation of human
rights is a lack of access to tools and resources needed by human rights advocates.
INTERIGHTS aims to respond
to this need through a quarterly Bulletin, which includes summaries of all international and regional decisions, a Commonwealth Human Rights Law Digest
and Database, this
Website and other occasional publications.
