Human Rights Go Local!

Welcome to the International Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels under the auspices of UNESCO hosted by ETC Graz.  We are a leading think tank and competency center with over 25 years of experience, dedicated to empowering local governments through a human-rights based approach to governance.

We use innovative strategies, evidence-based solutions, and capacity-building initiatives to promote inclusive and equitable social development at the local and regional levels. With our tailored and flexible consulting services, combined with our expertise in capacity-building and research, we enable authorities to deliver good governance, promote human rights, and enhance the quality of life for their communities.
