The Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) has 30 years of experience promoting human rights through competence building, knowledge enhancement and dialogue. The NCHR International Department promotes human rights internationally through six thematic areas of commitment:
Human Rights Education
Rule of Law
Supporting cooperation with and training for police, the judiciary, and academia to increase protection against abuse of power and torture.
Religion and Human Rights
The NCHR, through the Oslo Coalition, promotes freedom of religion and belief, through competence building, dialogue and cooperation.
Business and Human Rights
Equality and Non-discrimination
Human Rights Mechanisms
The thematic areas
These thematic areas of commitment represents a continuation of the international programme work that has been conducted by the NCHR for close to 30 years. We aim at integrating a gender sensitive approach across the six thematic areas.
Supporting organisations and partners
The NCHR International Department has an extended network of cooperating partners in Southeast Asia and East Asia, including academic institutions, UN organs and civil society organisations. Activities at the International Department are supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
