Réseau d’alerte et d’intervention pour les droits de l’Homme (RAIDH)

The Alert and Intervention Network for Human Rights (Réseau d’alerte et d’intervention pour les droits de l’Homme (RAIDH) aims to organise, finance and support any work, initiatives, measures, ideas or discussions which aim to defend and promote human rights (particularly civil and political rights, economic, social and cultural rights, international humanitarian rights, rights for refugees, the right to a clean environment and sustainable development, and any other right connected to the human condition) in France and across the world.
RAIDH also gets involved in actions which publicise violations of those same rights and which help to bring about significant progress in application of these rights. RAIDH bases its work on international, national and regional human rights law contained in internationally, nationally and regionally adopted or recognised texts and in international customary law.

These rights are particularly but not exclusively contained in the following texts: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), the Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (New York Convention, 1948), the Geneva Conventions of 1949 (international humanitarian law); regional conventions: European Convention on Human Rights (Council of Europe), the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, the American Convention on Human Rights (Organisation of American states), the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Organisation of African Unity), and any other international, nationally or regionally recognised text or regulation which aims to defend or promote human rights, taken here to mean political and civil rights, economic, social and cultural rights, international humanitarian rights, rights for refugees, the right to a clean environment and sustainable development, and any other right connected to the human condition.
