The Danish Institute for Human Rights

We are Denmark’s national human rights institution. Internationally, we work with National Human Rights institutions, state institutions with a cross-cutting human rights mandate and justice system actors, enabling them to strengthen human rights.

We assist in building well-functioning legal systems abroad and to ensure the influence of civil society.

We aid private companies in assessing the impact of their work on human rights.

We support authorities in enhancing their knowledge and implementation of human rights.

In Denmark, we advise the government, the parliament, ministries and public authorities on human rights and we produce analyses and research on human rights.
