ABOUT US
The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) is an independent, non-partisan, international non-governmental organisation, mandated to ensure the practical realisation of human rights in the countries of the Commonwealth.
CHRI’s objectives are to promote awareness of and adherence to the Harare Commonwealth Declaration, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and other internationally recognised human rights instruments, as well as domestic instruments supporting human rights in Commonwealth member states.
Owing to its strategic position, CHRI London acts as a liaison between the Headquarters in New Delhi, the Africa Office in Accra, and official Commonwealth bodies, such as the Secretariat and the Human Rights Unit. It plays a significant role in CHRI’s international advocacy programmes.
HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER
To all of us, every citizen, every habit, home, village, town, city, conurbation, country, and continent on earth. We often think when we hear about human rights that the media are talking about someone else.
