How we work
UpRights uses its experience in human rights and international law to build impactful partnerships. We work closely with others to identify effective and practical pathways to change.
Our collaborative efforts extend to a diverse array of partners, including victims, civil society organizations, government bodies, judiciaries, and international entities. Whenever possible we work directly with or consult those in immediate proximity to human rights violations.
Documenting and analysing human rights violations
Our experience has shown us that collaborating with partners who have a deep understanding of the context in which serious violations take place is the most effective way to promote human rights, ensure accountability and support the rule of law. Recognising them as those most proximate to a situation and most directly able to make an impact, we listen to their needs and empower them to make a direct impact.
Supporting the prosecution and adjudication of international crimes
We are dedicated to supporting government entities and international organizations engaged in the complex task of prosecuting and adjudicating international crimes.
Our purpose is clear. We aim to build the capacity of legal systems and institutions to use international law to effectively pursue justice against perpetrators.
Pursuing effective pathways to remedies and accountability
UpRights centers on providing robust support to its partners in identifying and pursuing effective legal pathways for remedies and accountability.
The partnerships we build are based on our commitment to ensure that victims of human rights violations receive just remedies, and those responsible are held accountable.
Supporting transparent, rule of law-based frameworks
UpRights is dedicated to enabling transparent, rule of law-based systems, including promoting evidence-based business and human rights solutions and developing transitional justice frameworks for conflict-affected or unstable regions.
In the context of business and human rights, we work with stakeholders to promote human rights due diligence, including in conflict-affected environments by engaging in the development and implementation of frameworks that encourage responsible corporate conduct.
