We believe in a world where every person’s rights are upheld.
Discover our global initiatives, impactful litigation, and how you can join us in advocating for justice
Advocate with us as an Attorney
HRA has submitted briefs on a number of issues, such as: affirmative action; the jurisdiction of US courts to hear claims involving international human rights law; the juvenile death penalty; the rights of immigrants; prison conditions; torture; defense of sanctuary workers; rights of protesters against nuclear weapons; and internationally recognized rights of disabled persons, women, and others. Join us in our efforts!
