UpRights
To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
UpRights is composed of a team of experts who have worked with and advised civil society, international organisations, criminal tribunals and national governments on matters of international criminal law, international humanitarian law, international human rights law, transitional justice and business and human rights.
The rights we cherish are not truly ours.
Our Partnerships
Our partnerships extend far beyond mere cooperation. They embody a recognition that solving the most pressing human rights challenges requires diverse and coordinated responses including those most affected by harms suffered.
