The purpose of the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) is to promote the practice of internationally adopted human rights. This is
done through three interacting yet distinct areas of activity: research and education, applied work to promote respect for human rights in Norway
(NI-function) and applied work to promote respect for human rights in countries other than Norway. The main thrust of the latter area is the International
Programmes.
