International: Human rights defenders standards

International, Europe & Eurasia

In 2018, Human Rights House Foundation developed 16 standards related to the rights of human rights defenders, together with the relevant international legislations that they stem from. This overview may be a useful tool for NGOs and human rights defenders in their advocacy for rights of human rights defenders, independently of national legislative provisions.

Find the standards here in English (Human Rights House Foundation).
