The Round Table Human Rights

The Round Table Human Rights is an independent and non-party-political association founded in 1997 at the instigation of the municipal human rights office. It comprises representatives of the municipal administration, the churches and independent human rights organisations in Nuremberg. It aims at promoting human rights principles and making the population more sensitive to human rights issues.

Tasks

The Round Table Human Rights holds meetings at regular intervals, and provides the institutions and groups involved with a forum for sharing information and experiences. It promotes co-operation and co-ordinates common projects and activities. It furthermore understands itself as a contact for all cases of human rights issues in the city and in cases of conflict acts as a mediator.
