Human Rights Guide is an online information and education platform that focuses on human rights and citizenship education. The platform provides country-specific resources on themes of human rights in multiple languages.[3]
The Human Rights Guide was founded by the non-governmental organization Baltic Human Rights Society, initially developed as a Baltic initiative and later expanded to other countries in Europe.[4]
As of 2025, the Human Rights Guide is available in 11 countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, France, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine.[1]
Approach and Features
[edit]The Human Rights Guide utilizes a thematic approach to explain human rights concepts. In contrast to the legal approach where human rights are taught from a theoretical perspective, the website focuses on specific life situations where human rights are relevant.[5] Key features include:
- Human rights through themes - content of the website is organized around practical topics and daily situations, allowing users to learn about rights relevant to specific circumstances, for example, domestic violence or right to a fair trial.
- Resources - content pages on the website offer references to relevant national and international laws, case law, and other documents. A searchable database of key court case summaries is available on the website.
- Tests - the website provides thematical tests for users that want to assess their knowledge while self studying.

- Baltic Human Rights Society (Latvia)
- Bulgarian Helsinki Committee (Bulgaria)
- Center for Civil Liberties (Ukraine)
- Estonian Human Rights Centre (Estonia)
- Foundation for the Support of Legal Education (Georgia)

- Institut international des droits de l’Homme et de la paix (France)
- Institute for Human Rights and Democracy Education (Lithuania)
- Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Slovakia (Slovakia)
- Peace Institute – Institute for Contemporary Social and Political Studies (Slovenia)[6] [1]
Funding and Support
