International Programmes

The main objective of our programmes is to develop and implement human rights on an international basis in cooperation with state authorities, independent and academic institutions as well as with civil society. At DIHR we believe that the key to realizing human rights is promoting sustainable and transparent processes, as well as the use of mechanisms based on the rule of law. These goals are facilitated through long-term partnerships in strategically selected areas.

Partners and Donors

The partnership concept has always been the cornerstone in DIHR's international programmes. To carry out its work DIHR requires funding from a variety of national and international donor organisations.
