About HUMAN RIGHTS FEATURES

South Asia Human Rights Documentation Centre (SAHRDC) brings out a news feature service, called Human Rights Features (HRF), in collaboration with Human Rights Documentation Centre (HRDC). The objective of HRF is to address the three main topic areas, i.e. human rights, democracy and good governance by providing the public with independent and accurate information. The launching of HRF is one of SAHRDC and HRDC's endeavours to fight human rights violations, by building institutional checks and balances and by creating linkages with the media.

HRF is published both fortnightly and quarterly. The Quarterly issue of HRF is an attempt to reach those beyond the present recipients of the electronic version of our fortnightly Human Rights Features. The aim of this publication is to bring out comprehensive research reports on human rights violaations around the globe for the serious human rights community.

HRF is also published as a weekly series for the duration of the annual session of the Commission on Human Rights every year starting from 58th Session of the CHR 2002.

If you are desirous of receiving our fortnightly online Human Rights Features (HRF) service, please send an email to hrdc_online@hotmail.com. Please give us your name, postal address and email address. We will be happy to include your name in the online HRF mailing list.
