Human Rights

Researching how to strengthen human rights and build constituencies for justice within a shifting global landscape in which human security and freedoms are under threat.

CSRR human rights research promotes a proactive global human rights agenda that reinforces democratic values as a central component of a comprehensive foreign policy. It seeks to generate innovative solutions for government, civil society, and the private sector and works to integrate human rights priorities across each country's foreign policy interests.

Accordingly CSRR experts from across programs also examine critical issues affecting human rights and human security around the world, as well as opportunities to enhance and broaden support for universal freedoms.
