HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH


Human Rights Watch conducts regular, systematic investigations of
human rights abuses in some seventy countries around the world. 
It addresses the human rights practices of governments of all
political stripes, of all geopolitical alignments, and of all
ethnic and religious persuasions.  In internal wars it documents
violations by both governments and rebel groups.  Human Rights
Watch defends freedom of thought and expression, due process and
equal protection of the law; it documents and denounces murders,
disappearances, torture, arbitrary imprisonment, exile,
censorship and other abuses of internationally recognized human
rights. 
     Human Rights Watch began in 1978 with the founding of its
Helsinki division. Today, it includes five divisions covering
Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, as well as the
signatories of the Helsinki accords.  It also includes five
collaborative projects on arms transfers, children's rights, free
expression, prison conditions, and women's rights.  It maintains
offices in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, London, Brussels,
Moscow, Dushanbe, Rio de Janeiro, and Hong Kong.  Human Rights
Watch is an independent, nongovernmental organization, supported
by contributions from private individuals and foundations
worldwide.  It accepts no government funds, directly or
indirectly.
