WE ARE
INTERIGHTS
is an international legal centre which develops and promotes the legal
protection of human rights worldwide. Set up as a charity in 1982, for
21 years we have been working hard to legally protect human rights, and
have become a highly respected and far-reaching organisation in the global
human rights field.
OUR GOALS
TO
develop and sustain legal protection for human rights and freedoms worldwide.
TO
fully realise and exploit all legal avenues available to protect these
rights.
TO
provide greater global access to information on judicial decisions concerning
human rights.
WHAT WE DO
WE
help lawyers, judges, victims and other non-governmental organisations
to prepare cases before regional, national and international courts.
WE
submit �friend of the court� briefs in cases that raise important issues
on how human rights are interpreted.
WE
provide valuable training for lawyers and judges to teach them more about
using international human rights law.
WE
advise regional institutions on appropriate administrative and judicial
systems.
WE
publish legal resources on- and offline so as many people as possible
have access to information on developments in human rights law.
WE
represent victims before regional and international courts.
We hold consultative status with the United Nation�s Economic and Social
Council, the Council of Europe and the African Commission for Human and
Peoples� Rights, and are authorised to present collective complaints under
the European Social Charter.
A registered charity, we are dependent on grants from foundations and
on donations from individuals.
