Publications

The goal of the Publications Programme of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is to raise awareness of human rights and fundamental freedoms and to publicize ways of promoting and protecting them at the international level.  Another aim is to encourage debate on human rights issues under discussion in United Nations bodies.  The Fact Sheet booklets provide information in a nutshell on a wide range of subjects. Special issue papers explore selected issues in greater depth and OHCHR's training and educational material consists of guides, manuals and handbooks for indigenous peoples, minorities, professional groups and educational institutions.
