Welcome to the Human Rights Impact Assessment Resource Centre
The Human Rights Impact Resource Centre (HRIRC) is an online database developed by Aim for human rights. It brings together a wide range of information and documentation on Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA). Measuring human rights has become an issue of growing interest to policy makers, non-governmental organisations (NGO's) and academics. There is a growing amount of information available and it is often dispersed and difficult to find. The HRIRC aims to fill this gap.
Who is the HRIRC intended for?
The site is designed for anyone who needs to know anything about HRIA. HRIA is not solely the domain of a few experts anymore. The HRIRC provides a wide range of information on HRIA and presents it from within a general approach. It caters to the needs of all actors in the field and makes HRIA-related information accessible and available to all interested parties: for people from different professional backgrounds and with different types and levels of expertise in human rights and HRIA. From HRIA experts to people new to the area or those with only a casual interest in HRIA.
