Our goal is to provide academically sound and objective analysis on relevant human rights-related issues.
The books issued by the Geneva Centre offer a depoliticized and objective view on human rights issues, including on migration, women’s rights, rights of the child, access to justice, citizenship rights in education, right to development, convergence between world religions. The Geneva Centre’s research policy is needs directed. It aims to focus its research efforts where they are most valuable, and to identify areas where existing mechanisms are not fully equipped to promote, protect, or respect human rights.
