Instantánea de Human Rights Watch
Human Rights Watch (HRW) is watching out for everyone. The organization's mission is to prevent discrimination, uphold political freedom, protect people during wartime, and bring offenders to justice. HRW researches human rights violations around the world and publishes its findings to help generate publicity about the atrocities it uncovers. It also meets with national and international governing officials to help steer policy change. Along with partner organizations, HRW won the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for its International Campaign to Ban Landmines. HRW is an independent organization; all funds come from private contributors. The group was founded in 1978.
