Title
HURIDOCS - Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems, International
Description
HURIDOCS (Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems, International), established in 1982, is a global network of human rights organisations concerned with human rights information.
The idea of HURIDOCS was developed as from 1979 during informal consultations among persons working within international human rights organisations. They realised that information and communication technologies are being used by commercial companies and government agencies, sometimes in aid of committing human rights violations. They saw that the community of non-governmental human rights organisations needed to familiarise themselves with these tools and would most benefit from using them in an appropriate and compatible way.
The HURIDOCS Constituency
HURIDOCS is a loose network. It does not impose formal rules for membership in the network. All those groups and individuals who participate in some way in the network activities -- from soliciting advice and support, to participation in training courses, forums and meetings, to contributing in the development of tools -- can consider themselves as members of the network. The majority of participants in the network are human rights NGOs, but there are many others. The HURIDOCS network can be said to be composed of:
