Human Rights. Better Solutions.

Through our cooperation, we jointly provide evidence of long-term benefits through the strategic implementation of advanced international standards of human rights protection and thus strengthen the quality seal “Made in Germany” in international competition by adding an ethical dimension. In the long term, we also increase the resilience of society as a whole to successfully cope with crises and uncertainties.

Risk analysis

  • Preparation of country, sector and project risk – and human rights impact assessments as a basis for decision-making and limitation of liability
  • Field operations in highly complex country situations, including armed conflict, peacebuilding and economic transformation
  • Organisation of conferences and working meetings at project, corporate, sector  and senior government levels to promote standing, acceptance and cost-effectiveness
  • Practical research reports on legal, economic and social developments
  • Application of internationally recognised standards of analysis, participation and planning for transparency and credibility of processes and results

Objectives

  • Identify trends in human rights development and their impact on existing strategy and operations at an early stage.
  • Enter into dialogue with affected populations
  • Assess risks and actively shape situations – preventively instead of reactively
  • Bring together all relevant factors for the development of comprehensive strategy
