The Covenants for Human Rights

The Human Rights Action Center is a non-profit based out of Washington, D.C. that works on the issues of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Aung San Suu Kyi. 
Using the arts and new technologies, they work creativity to develop new strategies to stop human rights abuses.

The Covenants are:

  • The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
  • The International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights
  • The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Center's five main goals are:
  1. HRAC campaigns to get governments to print the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in all passports.
  2. Rightfully restore Aung San Suu Kyi to power in Burma.
  3. Create innovative, forceful, effective solutions to assist victims in protecting themselves.
  4. Support growing human rights groups all over the world
  5. Create a fund to get people out of harm's way in exceptional human rights abuse cases.
