Human rights defenders and returned volunteers speak out and strengthen the protection we provide.

About PBI Country Groups

International volunteers accompanying those threatened for defending human rights would have limited effect without an international support network that can deter violence.

PBI country groups:

  • find and prepare field volunteers
  • build support networks to respond to threats
  • fundraise
  • raise the profile of human rights defenders and PBI
  • participate in wider peace and human rights forums
  • support volunteers on their return

Get involved with a local Country Group

Many countries do not have an official PBI Country Group but have small networks of individuals that may be able to help. If you are interested in starting a local group please contact us.

What they say

"There are two privileges attached to a foreign passport in a conflict area. You can use it to board the next flight out of trouble. Or you can use it as a tool to help protect human rights."

PBI Nepal Impunity Publication - May 2011

The culture of impunity in Nepal related to conflict-era crimes continues and affects present-day access to justice. There is an absence of rule of law in many areas and rising insecurity as a result. Human rights defenders working against impunity or within this environment are made vulnerable. Here PBI-Nepal's partners and volunteers describe the situation and the effects on human rights defenders.
