A membership organization dedicated to inform, inspire, and mobilize the American people to support the ideals and vital work of the United Nations. Local chapters across the USA and many programs, including:

GenUN: Local chapters that take action on a number of UN-related issues:
Model UN: Local teams participate in an authentic simulation of the UN General Assembly, UN Security Council, or other multilateral body, which introduces students to the world of diplomacy, negotiation, and decision making.

Provides excellent resources for the simulation, including one on human rights.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
