Links to online document archives including the United Nations Treaty Collection and the documentary collections of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States, the African Union, and a comprehensive archive maintained by the University of Minnesota.
Links to a variety of organizations active in promoting and/or defending human rights concerns. The links are divided into three main categories: Inter-Governmental, Non-Governmental, and Academic Centers.
Organizations comprised of representatives from a cross-section of official bodies, such as the United Nations and the European Union. The links are divided into those with a broad international focus, and those concentrated within particular geographic regions.
Private organizations that pursue activities to relieve suffering, promote the interests of the poor, protect the environment, or undertake community development.
This section contains a collection of human rights journals and reviews we have compiled. Some listed journals have open online access, while other listed journals have closed or no online access, where subscription is necessary to view the journal.
This section, intended to contain a comprehensive survey of links on various human-rights topics, is perpetually a work in progress. If there is a particular topic you would like to see included, or if you have a link or list of links that you would like to recommend for inclusion, please send us an e-mail.
