United for Human Rights in Challenging Times

At the end of each year, when the Christians among us celebrate Advent and prepare for Christmas, the International Human Rights Day takes place.

This newsletter is an expression of this necessary vibrant civil society.

This August, we present a truly remarkable edition of our ISHR-Newsletter – a special edition entitled the Ambassadors Newsletter.

In this newsletter, we once again bring you the latest news and background information from our global network.
