About Us
We are a coalition of statewide and local groups established in 1989. Our purposes are to enhance among citizens in our state the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of human rights as set forth in such documents as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, and to support activities that accord with these human rights principles.
Two of the Coalition’s main activities are to foster the celebration of Human Rights Day/Week (December 10-16) and Bill of Rights Day (December 15) in communities throughout North Carolina and to sponsor a dinner (just prior to Human Rights Week) at which its International Human Rights Award is presented.
The Coalition is affiliated with the United States Human Rights Network, the Children’s Rights Network, the NGO Coalition for an International Criminal Court, Ratify Now (for the Convention on Rights of People with Disabilities) and it supports the statement of the CEDAW Education Project favoring ratification by the United States of CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women).
