European
Court of Human Rights Any Contracting State (State application) or
individual
claiming to be a victim of a violation of the Convention (individual application)
may lodge directly with the Court in Strasbourg an application alleging a breach
by a Contracting State of one of the Convention rights. A
notice for the guidance of applicants and forms for making applications may
be obtained from the Registry.
The procedure before the European Court of Human Rights is adversarial and public.
Hearings, which are held only in a minority of cases, are public, unless the
Chamber/Grand Chamber decides otherwise on account of exceptional circumstances.
Memorials and other documents filed with the Court’s Registry by the parties
are, in principle, accessible to the public.
Individual applicants may submit applications themselves, but legal representation
is recommended, and even required for hearings or once an application has been
declared admissible. The Council of Europe has set up a legal aid scheme for
applicants who do not have sufficient means.

International
Council on Human Rights Policy The International Council on Human
Rights Policy was established in Geneva in 1998 to conduct useful research into
problems and dilemmas that face organisations working in the field of human
rights. All Council activities relate directly to human rights.
The Council is independent of governments and inter-governmental organisations
as well as voluntary and private sector organisations. It works closely with
all such bodies in the pursuit of its research objectives.
International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights The International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights is a self-governing group of non-governmental, not-for-profit organizations that act to protect human rights throughout Europe, North America and Central Asia. A primary specific goal is to monitor compliance with the human rights provisions of the Helsinki Final Act and its Follow-up Documents. A secretariat based in Vienna supports and provides liaison among forty-one member Helsinki committees and associated human rights groups, and represents them at the international political level. The IHF also has direct links with individuals and groups supporting human rights in countries where no Helsinki committees exist. In addition to gathering and analyzing information on human rights conditions in OSCE participating States, the IHF acts as a clearing house for this information, disseminating it to governments, inter-governmental organizations, the press and the public at large. The IHF is even-handed in its criticism of human rights violations with respect to the political systems of states in which these abuses occur.
International
Human Rights Law Group The International Human Rights Law Group is
a non-profit organization of human rights and legal professionals from over
20 countries engaged in advocacy, strategic human rights lawyering and training
around the world. Our mission is to empower local advocates to expand the scope
of human rights protections and to promote broad participation in building human
rights standards and procedures at the national, regional and international
levels.
With a diverse staff of international human rights professionals from over 20
countries, IHRLG works to develop and strengthen international human rights
norms and the institutions that enforce them worldwide. At the same time, recognizing
the critical role domestic groups play in challenging human rights abuses in
their countries, we develop programs to meet the needs expressed by local organizations
to strengthen their capacity to respond to these abuses. We provide direct technical
support to local organizations over extended periods, emphasizing essential
human rights skills including fact-finding and reporting, human rights advocacy
and strategic lawyering at both the domestic and international levels. Drawing
on our in-country presence, we bring the voices of local activists to the attention
of the international human rights community to integrate those voices into foreign
policy discussions and actions, particularly in the United States and at the
United Nations.

Federation of Human Rights Leagues, is to advance the implementation of all
the rights defined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the other
international instruments protecting human rights.

organisation (NGO) of international solidarity, officially recognised by the
state. It is non-political, non-sectarian, and non- profit-making.

League for Human Rights The International League for Human Rights

defending individual human rights advocates who have risked their lives to promote
the ideals of a just and civil society in their homelands.
Based in New York, with representation in Geneva and dozens of affiliates and
partners around the world, the League is a non-governmental, non-profit organization
now in its 58th year. The League has special consultative status at the United
Nations, the Council of Europe, and the International Labor Organization,
and also contributes to the Africa Commission and the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE). With the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights as its platform, the
League raises human rights issues and cases before the UN and other intergovernmental
regional organizations in partnership with our colleagues abroad, helping to
amplify their voices and coordinate strategies for effective human rights protection.

Physicians
for Human Rights USA Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) promotes health
by protecting human rights. We believe that human rights are essential preconditions
for the health and well-being of all people. Using medical and scientific methods,
we investigate and expose violations of human rights worldwide and we work to
stop them. We support institutions that hold perpetrators of human rights abuses,
including health professionals, accountable for their actions. We educate health
professionals and medical, public health and nursing students and organize them
to become active in supporting a movement for human rights and creating a culture
of human rights in the medical and scientific professions.
Since 1986, PHR members have worked to stop torture, disappearances, and political
killings by governments and opposition groups; to improve health and sanitary
conditions in prisons and detention centers; to investigate the physical and
psychological consequences of violations of humanitarian law in internal and
international conflicts; to defend medical neutrality and the right of civilians
and combatants to receive medical care during times of war; to protect health
professionals who are victims of violations of human rights; and to prevent
medical complicity in torture and other abuses.
Rights
international Established in 1994, Rights International fights for
those rights recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other
international human rights treaties. They operate independently of any political
ideology, government, economic interest, or religious creed. Rights International’s
goals are two-fold: to protect the human rights of our clients, and to advance
the development of international human rights caselaw. They serve these goals
through a number of means. Among them are:
Representing victims of human rights violations in international tribunals,
and filing amicus briefs before such tribunals. These international tribunals
include
the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights,
the Inter-American Court of Human Rights,
the European Court of Human Rights, and
the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights
United
Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights The concern
of the United Nations with the promotion and protection of human rights and
fundamental freedoms stems directly from the realization by the international
community that "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable
rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice
and peace in the world", and from the resultant pledge of States Members of
the United Nations "to achieve, in cooperation with the United
Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights
and fundamental freedoms".
