Human Rights First builds respect for human rights and the rule of law to help ensure the dignity to which everyone is entitled and to stem intolerance, tyranny, and violence.

Human Rights First is a non-profit, nonpartisan international human rights organization based in New York and Washington D.C. We utilize creative coalition-building, insider advocacy, litigation, research and reporting, and public advocacy. We approach tough challenges in pragmatic, focused, and integrated ways. We act to halt mass atrocities by compelling the international community to respond. We promote actions to resolve conflicts and protect people at risk; and we demand accountability for perpetrators of abuses, as well as those who enable them.
