In the charity's own words
We draw on the lessons of Northern Ireland to promote, protect and monitor human rights in the context of government engagement in conflict and countering terrorism. Through rigorous fact-finding investigations, advocacy and network-building, we hold those in power to account for human rights abuses, in order to achieve change, equal justice and accountability.
