What's Going On
Far too often, the powerful individuals and institutions responsible for abuse and corruption in a given country face little or no consequence for their actions. Civil society can advocate to change that.
Where It's Happening
Human rights abuse and corruption take place in every region of the world, and a growing number of countries use targeted sanctions to promote accountability for the perpetrators.
What We're Doing
Human Rights First is working with civil society partners from around the world to promote accountability for serious human rights abuses and corruption.
Join the Work
Join our civil society coalition, which promotes accountability by advocating for specific perpetrators of abuse or corruption to face targeted sanctions under authorities like the U.S. Global Magnitsky program.
