OHCHR - Strategic Partnership with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights
Promoting respect for human rights is a foreign policy goal and pillar of Swiss international cooperation, as the denial of human rights is one of the main factors of poverty. With a multi-year contribution to the Geneva-based Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, focussing on selected geographic and thematic priorities, SDC will support this organisation to better play its key role in integrating human rights in sustainable development.

They stand for equality, for participatory and inclusive societies that dismantle the structures of discrimination that drive poverty and inequality.

OHCHR is the leading UN agency for human rights and plays a key role in integrating human rights in sustainable development. |
