About ushrnetwork
The US Human Rights Network was formed to promote US accountability to universal human rights standards by building linkages between organizations and individuals. The Network strives to build a human rights culture in the United States that puts those directly affected by human rights violations, with a special emphasis on grassroots organizations and social movements, in a central leadership role. The Network also works towards connecting the US human rights movement with the broader US social justice movement and human rights movements around the world.
The principles that guide the Network and its member organizations and individuals are:
* Human rights are interdependent and universal
* Human rights include civil, political, economic,social, and cultural rights
* Human rights are protected through building socialmovements
* Human rights movements must ensure leadership by those directly affected
* Human rights advocacy must always respect the diversity within communities
* Human rights organizations must be financially responsible and accountable
