About Human Rights First
Human Rights First is a non-profit, nonpartisan international human rights organization that challenges America to live up to its ideals. The organization believes that American leadership is essential in the struggle for human rights so it pressures the U.S. government and private companies to respect human rights and the rule of law. When they don’t, the Human Rights First steps in to demand reform, accountability and justice. Whether protecting refugees, combating torture, or defending persecuted minorities, the organization focuses on not on making a point, but on making a difference. For over 30 years, the organization has built bipartisan coalitions and teamed up with front line activists and lawyers to tackle issues that demand American leadership. Around the world, the Human Rights First works where it can best harness American influence to secure core freedoms.
