The International Network of Human Rights (RIDH) is a non-governmental organisation based in Geneva whose mission is to enhance the capabilities of local actors who work for the promotion and protection of human rights in Latin America. We aim to empower activists by providing them with information, analysis and technical support. Our consultative status with ECOSOC allows us to work as an intermediary in processes of advocacy and dialogue between human rights defenders and the United Nations in Switzerland. RIDH’s activities are driven by the principles of impartiality, participation and transparency.
