Human Rights

Dutch Human Rights Strategy

It will require extra investment in human rights policy across the board to protect and promote human rights throughout the world. At the same time, the Netherlands will make strategic choices in response to developments in the world around us, choosing issues where our input is most needed, and developing a vision of how we can achieve results on those issues.

A new strategy has been formulated by the Dutch government that singles out four key themes: universality; human rights, peace and security; the indivisibility of human rights; and the voice of human rights.

The strategy and a summary are now available here.
