HURIDOCS

HURIDOCS (Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems) is a non-governmental organization that supports human rights groups to mobilise information for justice and accountability.

Established in 1982, HURIDOCS develops strategies and tools to facilitate human rights monitoring and documentation work and improve access to bodies of human rights information. HURIDOCS consults with organizations of many scopes and sizes, including local grassroots groups, national human rights institutions and international NGOs, to help them overcome their information management challenges.

HURIDOCS's current flagship tool is Uwazi, an open-source database application designed for human rights defenders to manage collections of facts, testimonies, evidence, cases, complaints and other types of information.

HURIDOCS is a longtime member of the jury for the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders. The award is named after British human rights activist Martin Ennals, who was the founding president of HURIDOCS. Dutch lawyer Hans Thoolen, who cofounded the Martin Ennals Award as well as other NGOs such as International Alert, was among the co-founders of HURIDOCS. HURIDOCS is also partnered with the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG). Provided by Wikipedia
