Hungarian Helsinki Committee

The Hungarian Helsinki Committee (HHC) is a leading human rights watchdog NGO based in Budapest, Hungary, founded in 1989. We defend and promote democratic values, the rule of law, and a vibrant civil society; the right to asylum and international protection for refugees and others in need; and the right to be free from torture or inhuman treatment and punishment and to be tried in a fair criminal justice system.
We work with a fullspectrum approach, combining several methods:
• direct legal assistance
• strategic litigation
• field monitoring
• advocacy research & reporting
• communication
• training & capacity-building
• empowerment & social participation.
