PROJECTS

At the FORUM, we cover a variety of human rights topics that we consider important. We particularly focus on protecting the rights of those groups that often remain invisible. We seek closer participation with these groups and, through various project tools, look for ways to bring about social change and improve their situation. Currently, these projects include:

Currently, FORUM is implementing the following European projects

In addition to international projects, we also work on local projects

Continually, FORUM implements the following two projects

  1. STRATEGIC LITIGATION

FORUM represents or supports several strategic cases before national and international organs. Through strategic litigation, we seek to achieve higher standards of human protection and to secure a remedy for the victims of human rights violations. FORUM provides assistance and legal representation in the following areas:

  • rights of people with disabilities
  • prevention of ill-treatment, including protection of victims of ill-treatment
  • children’s rights
  • the rights of people on the move
  • the rights of ethnic minorities
  • the rights of sexual minorities
  • protection against discrimination
  • combating hate speech

2. INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY 

FORUM promotes international human rights standards at the national level by coordinating, drafting and submitting alternative reports on the implementation of international human rights treaties at the national level. FORUM has rich experience in reporting and participating in the hearings of human rights bodies. The organisation is active in front of the UN treaty bodies and by means of active advocacy directed at the members of the Committees. FORUM also supports national human rights organisations when submitting alternative reports and participating in hearings.
