International
Federation for Human Rights:
(FIDH :
Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l’Homme)
Is a
non-governmental federation for human rights organisations. It was founded in
1922 and it is the second oldest international human rights organisation
worldwide.
It
brings together 184 members organisations in over 100 countries.
For
FIHD, transforming societies relies on the work of local actors. Therefore,
FIDH’s activities aim to reinforce their capacities and their influence.
Its core
mission is to defend all human rights – civil, political, economic, social and
cultural – as contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Its
actions are founded on three strategic pillars: securing the freedom and
capacity to act for human rights defenders, the universality of rights and
their effectiveness.

non-governmental human rights organisation formed in 1969 that campaigns for the
rights of indigenous tribal peoples and uncontacted peoples. Survival

at the United Nations.
Survival
has supporters in 82 countries. It is a registered charity in the United

on three complementary levels for these people: education, advocacy and

local indigenous organisations.
Survival’s
vision is a world where tribal peoples are respected as contemporary societies
and their human rights protected.
