Online News - ngoCHR: A News Service for the UN Commission on Human Rights

ngoCHR.org is a service made possible through the contributions of CONGO (Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations), International Communications Volunteers (ICVolunteers) and the MCART Group (MCART).

The purpose of this site is to serve as a news and information source for civil society organizations interested in the work of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Rather than an exhaustive library, ngoCHR.org is intended to provide an open platform for news and perspectives particularly relevant to civil society.
