Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia (HCHRS) was established in September 1994. Although the constitutional and legal human rights guarantees in Serbia are in accordance with the internationally accepted standards, the actual state of human rights has been more than disturbing. Therefore, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia appears as a professional organisation working on the promotion of the idea of the rule of law and protection of human rights. The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia is a full member of the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights (IHF) seated in Vienna, Austria (www.ihf-hr.org). IHF has consultative status with the United Nations and the Council of Europe. The IHF is a unique community of human rights NGOs in 37 countries of the OSCE, working togetherinternationaly to insist on complience with human rights standards. Our network of Helsinki committees is dedicated to minitoring all forms of human rights abuse in the OSCE region, mobilising international pressure for local change and supporting the roleof civil society in protecting human rights. The IHF's website offers access to news about human rights, press releases and IHFstatements, and is also the gateway to all Helsinki Committees and cooperating organisations.
