Links to Human Rights Watch

We include here links to HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH and the countries where Columban Missionaries are based.

Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. More than 150 dedicated professionals work for Human Rights Watch around the world. They are lawyers, journalists, academics, and country experts of many nationalities and diverse backgrounds. We often join forces with human rights groups from other countries to further our common goals. A growing cadre of volunteers supports us

HRW stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, to uphold political freedom, to protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring offenders to justice. They investigate and expose human rights violations and hold abusers accountable. HRW challenge governments and those who hold power to end abusive practices and respect international human rights law. They enlist the public and the international community to support the cause of human rights for all. Human Rights Watch is an independent, nongovernmental organization, supported by contributions from private individuals and foundations worldwide. It accepts no government funds, directly or indirectly.
