Rights & Democracy’s Documentation Centre
Since its creation in 1988, Rights and Democracy’s Documentation Centre has amassed a wide collection of over 20,000 documents on international human rights.
This unique collection has been built up over the years through research carried out by our staff and activities in the field.
The documents are available in print and in electronic form through a virtual library. A documentary collection (videos and CDs) is also accessible.
Whether you are a student, researcher, rights defender, activist, journalist, or just interested in learning more about human rights around the world, the Documentation Centre is your reference source.
