The Human Rights Likeminded Office is the leading independent organization providing tailored information and services to support the international community in the advancement of human rights at the United Nations. HRLO works with both UN member states and human rights organizations. It promotes their active involvement in UN deliberations on human rights by providing data, analysis, training, and alerts on human rights issues.
The Human Rights Likeminded Office assists UN member states supportive of human rights to identify potential allies, build coalitions, and devise better voting strategies around human rights-related measures. Trained NGOs can more easily gain access to UN forums crucial to advancing their human rights mission, influence diplomats, and affect decision-making. The result is a UN that safeguards existing commitments on human rights, promotes additional protections for human rights, and addresses human rights violations.
