Harnessing the power of information
HURIDOCS is a global capacity-building network
of organisations that use documentation techniques, monitoring methods,
information management systems and technologies in the
defence of human rights and the prevention of abuses.
- Does your organisation monitor and document human rights violations?
- Do you have a documentation centre?
- Do you disseminate information via the internet?
- Do you need more systematic management of the information you collect, to make it actionable?

"The rapid increase of interest in human rights coincides with the rapid development of information technology. Unless a common and universal system of communication is evolved, valuable information will be wasted, existing international machinery will not function, and implementation not monitored."Martin Ennals, HURIDOCS Founding President
