Geneva Institute for Human Rights GIHR
Description
We are a non-governmental organisation promoting human rights to effect change. The Geneva Institute for Human Rights (GIHR) is a non-governmental, non – profit organization based in Geneva – Switzerland. As an academic study and research institution, it is independent from all governments, political parties, organizations and philosophical or religious groups. Its key objective is to raise awareness and understanding about human rights.
GIHR works for some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable communities, seeking to ensure that the principles of equality, dignity and respect are incorporated into all levels of public service.
Much of our work consists of capacity building through trainings, consultations and development of reports and publications so as to effect change.
The Institute co-operates with international and national partners. In particular, it is concerned with the promotion of human rights treaties, with issues in the framework of security policy, peace policy and human rights, and with strategic issues with regard to human rights policy.
