“Founded over 40 years
the British Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) is an independent
charity working to bring
human rights to life here at home. We empower people
to:
- know what human rights are (and often what they are not)
- use them in practice achieve positive change in everyday life without resorting to the courts, and
- to make sure those in power respect and progress our human rights laws and systems.
At the
heart of everything we do is a commitment to making sure the
international
promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
developed after the horrors of World War II, is made real here at
home. Our innovative work seeks to achieve a society where human
rights are respected as the cornerstone of our democracy and enable
each of us to live well in communities that value the equal dignity
of each person.
Our
education, research and advocacy work supports people and
organisations to realise the potential of human rights to empower
people and to transform organisations. By doing so, we inspire a new
generation of organisations and individuals to recognise that human
rights are the standards by which we should live, and to live up to
their human rights responsibilities.”
