Rights & Security International envision a world in which everyone's human rights are fully respected, including when governments carry out national security activities. They believe all communities are stronger, and all people are safer, when governments uphold everyone's rights and freedoms.
They stand for rights and accountability, and against bias.
Rights & Security International collaborates to document human rights violations committed under the guise of national security, develop innovative, evidence-based policies and legal arguments, and utilise human rights law to drive change while supporting like-minded efforts. Engaging directly with communities, they ensure human rights are practical tools for change, maintaining international safeguards and preventing governmental secrecy and oppression. Their principled and expert approach influences lawmakers, courts, the UN, and the media, fostering a better understanding of human rights and promoting rights-respecting laws. They challenge biases in national security policing, promote justice and transparency, and amplify the voices of affected communities.
