Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) is an international human rights Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) working with and for minorities. GHRD specifically addresses those areas and populations of the world where severe and extensive human rights violations of certain ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities have taken place for long periods, and where structural help and global attention of the international media have proven to be absent or insufficient. GHRD conducts its work via three pillars: *Human rights reporting: done by local observers *Humanitarian aid: aimed at victims of human rights violations *Human rights education: in South Asia, Netherlands and Europe ==Minorities== GHRD concentrates on the human rights of minority groups: #that are dominated by social, economical and political power; #that have been deprived of effective protection against gross and systematic violations; #that have been deprived of access to resources simply because of their identity and beliefs. GHRD’s work is based on the UN Declaration on Rights of Minorities (1992), and therefore it works with linguistic, religious and ethnic minorities. "''Basic aims of the United Nations, as proclaimed in the Charter, is to promote and encourage respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion,() emphasizing that the constant promotion and realization of the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, as an integral part of the development of society as a whole and within a democratic framework based on the rule of law, would contribute to the strengthening of friendship and cooperation among peoples and States''" General Assembly Resolution 47/135, 18 December 1992. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global Human Rights Defence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
