The International Service for Human Rights
(ISHR) promotes the development,
strengthening, effective use and
implementation of international and regional
law and mechanisms for the protection and
promotion of human rights.ISHR was established in 1984 by members of
various non-governmental organisations in
Geneva. For 20 years, it has given human
rights defenders from around the world
information, training and support. Today,
through its offices in Geneva and New York
and its worldwide network of human rights
activists, it offers:
- analytical reports on the UN and other
international and regional human rights
mechanisms;
- training on how to use the international and
regional norms and procedures;
- strategic advice for effective lobbying;
- contributions to standard-setting; and
practical information and logistical support to
enable human rights defenders to take full
advantage of international human rights law
and procedures.
ISHR does not generally campaign on country
or individual cases but through its work helps
human rights defenders take more effective
action to protect and promote human rights in
their own countries, regionally and
internationally.ISHR
