Message from the Secretary General
Pages 3 - 4 |
This was a year when the fight for global justice came under attack from both armed groups and governments using the "war on terror" to undermine previous advances in the human rights sphere. The message from the Secretary General identifies the need for the world to not only fight against global threats but to fight for global justice.

Building an international human rights agenda
Pages 5 - 23 |
During 2002 and 2003 we conducted an intensive and far-reaching analysis of human rights in the world. This analysis was the basis for the development of the organization’s strategic plan for the period 2004 - 2006. This analysis is presented under the following headings: Resisting abuses in the context of the "war on terror" Defending human rights in armed conflict Protecting the rights of human rights defenders Reforming and strengthening the justice sector Promoting abolition of the death penalty Promoting economic, social and cultural rights Ending violence against women Upholding the rights of refugees and migrants
