leading independent organizations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights. By focusing international attention where human rights are violated, we give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes. Our rigorous, objective investigations and strategic, targeted advocacy build intense pressure for action and raise the cost of human rights abuse. For more than 30 years, Human Rights Watch has worked tenaciously to lay the legal and moral groundwork for deep-rooted change and has fought to bring greater justice and security to people around the world. </p> <p> <strong>Mission Statement:<br/> </strong>Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. We stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, to uphold political freedom, to protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring offenders to justice. We investigate and expose human rights violations and hold abusers accountable. We challenge governments and those who hold power to end abusive practices and respect international human rights law. We enlist the public and the international community to support the cause of human rights for all. </p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://www.hrw.org/en/what-they-say-about-us" style="color:#0099FF">What they say about Human Rights Watch >></a></p> <h3>Top Rated - Charity Navigator</h3> In earning Charity Navigator's highest four star rating, Human Rights Watch has demonstrated exceptional financial health in its efforts to manage and grow its finances in the most fiscally responsible way possible. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3845" target="_blank" style="color:#0099FF">Review our rating.</a> <br/> <br/> <h3> Accredited Charity - Better Business Bureau</h3> The BBB Wise Giving Alliance completes comprehensive, in-depth evaluations of the charity. <br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://charityreports.bbb.org/public/seal.aspx?ID=34521032010" target="_blank" style="color:#0099FF">Review our report.</a> <br/> <br/> <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="newsletter"> <tr> <td valign="top"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=3845" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830im_/http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/media/images/photographs/charity_navigator.gif" alt="Charity Navigator" border="0"/></a></td> <td valign="top"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://charityreports.bbb.org/public/seal.aspx?ID=34521032010" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830im_/http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/media/images/photographs/logo_bbb_322.jpg" alt="BBB" width="322" height="87" border="0" align="absbottom"/></a></td> </tr> </table><br/> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="limiter clear-block"> <div class="clear-block"><a href="#header" class="back-to-top">Back to top</a></div> <div class="nav"> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/rss" class="rss-link">RSS</a> <div class="pipe-links"><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/home">Home</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/our-work">Our Work</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/news">News</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/publications">Publications</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/multimedia">Multimedia</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/about" class="active">About Us</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/contact-us">Contact Us</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://ff.hrw.org/">Film Festival</a> <span class="pipe">|</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/https://secure.hrw.org/site/c.nlIWIgN2JwE/b.8370149/k.2592/Donate__Help_Defend_Human_Rights/apps/ka/sd/donorcustom.asp?msource=n">Donate</a></div> </div> <div class="footer-blocks clear-block"> <div id="block-views-hrw_footer-block_1" class="clear-block block block-views"> <div class="bcontent"><div class="view view-hrw-footer view-id-hrw_footer view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-2"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field-body"> <div class="field-content">Human Rights Watch<br/> 350 Fifth Avenue, 34th Floor<br/> New York, NY 10118-3299<br/> USA<br/> Tel: 1-(212) 290-4700<br/> <br/> <strong><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/en/contact-us">Contact Us - Global Offices</a></strong><br/> <strong><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130123023830/http://ff.hrw.org/">Film Festival</a></strong><br/> <strong><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/en/about/jobs">Employment</a></strong></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block-tic-5" class="clear-block block block-tic"> <div class="bcontent"><div class="col-left clear-block"><strong class="vocab-header"><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/regions">Browse by Region</a></strong><div class="item-list"><ul><li class="first first"><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/africa">Africa</a></li> <li class=""><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/americas">Americas</a></li> <li class=""><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/asia">Asia</a></li> <li class=""><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/europe/central-asia">Europe/Central Asia</a></li> <li class=""><a href="/web/20130123023830/https://www.hrw.org/middle-east/n-africa">Middle East/N.
