Más de 25 años trabajando cuestiones y ámbitos relacionados con los derechos humanos

Pedro Arrupe Human Rights Institute

Priority areas

The aim of the programme is to increase knowledge of human rights and humanitarian action issues, as well as to train actors and experts capable of intervening on these issues in a professional and technically competent manner.

It aims to extend the analysis and knowledge of human rights through research projects that shed light on human rights issues, thus contributing relevant innovations to the various sciences from a human rights perspective

The aim is to spread a culture of acceptance and respect for human rights within society in the Basque Country, the Spanish state and the international sphere, denouncing situations of human rights violations or social injustice, and encouraging serious and reflective social debate on political or social issues that are relevant to human rights. This also includes participating in the promotion and protection of human rights, either through direct actions developed by the Institute or by offering the Institute's technical services to involve other bodies such as public institutions or non-governmental organisations in the intervention.

20th anniversary

On 17 November 2017, the Institute celebrated its twentieth anniversary with a two-fold objective. On the one hand, to have a space to celebrate these two decades of work for human rights. On the other hand, to provide an opportunity for reflection and discussion, offering advice and guidelines to continue with this task in the coming decades.
