Human Rights Dossiers of Federal Departments Involved
In the "Federal Administration" section you will find information on the human rights dossiers of federal departments who work together in the interdepartmental “Core Group International Human Rights Policy“ (Kerngruppe internationale Menschenrechtspolitik, KIM). KIM is coordinated by the Human Rights Section of Political Affairs Division IV of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
All of the information in the "Federal Administration" section was made available to us by the participating federal departments who have themselves determined the form of presentation and amount of information on human rights topics in their area.
In particular you will find
- an overview of the current or permanent human rights dossiers (functions and activities) with links to the responsible federal departments, and
- an overview of several funds on federal level which allot grants to human rights projects which comply with defined preconditions.
