Netherlands Helsinki Committee

The Netherlands Helsinki Committee is a growing non-governmental organization that promotes human rights, the rule of law and justice in all countries of wider Europe, including Eastern Europe, Western Balkans, Caucasus and Central Asia as well as the European Union. Building on its track record of 35 years, its mission is to inspire, engage and support catalysts of change in building just and rights-respecting societies. It does so by strengthening their capacities and by amplifying their voices through advocacy and campaigns. Its networks reach out to civil society, governments as well as the justice chain in order to mobilise the right peer-to-peer expertise and build bridges to bring about change.

The Netherlands Helsinki Committee was founded in 1987. It is based in an office in The Hague with around 25 staff members.
