Mission Statement
Torture and other crimes against humanity are violations that cannot be justified by any political, religious or cultural claim. Yet a global culture of persecution against persons based on these and other grounds allows persecution to occur daily and with impunity. HRLF is aware of these challenges and is dedicated to protecting the moral rights of all people to be free from torture and persecution. The cases we handle are cases in which these principles are at stake. Our basic philosophy is that law serves these principles rather than the reverse. While this may seem an unusual aproach for an NGO, it is nonetheless part of the tradition of human rights law and the moral principles upon which it is based.
