Mission & Interests
Goals: The Danish Institute for Human Rights is an independent state-funded institution. Our mandate is to promote and protect human rights and equal treatment in Denmark and abroad.
We are Denmark’s national human rights institution. We are also a national equality body in relation to race and ethnicity and gender. Furthermore, we have a special role in the disability area where we promote and monitor the implementation of the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities.
Internationally, we do not have the mandate to monitor and report on human rights in other countries. This task lies with the given country's own national human rights institution.
As one of the longest running independent national human rights institutions, we do however have experience and knowledge that are worthwhile sharing and valuable to others. At the same time, we have a unique access to cooperate with foreign state actors and organizations that may otherwise be difficult to access.
