Human Rights International (HRI) is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization that specializes in human rights, legal services and humanitarian aid. 

Human Rights International started in the United States as an independent, non-partisan, and non-sectarian organization with a mission to defend and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms worldwide.
