Nordic Rights, a prominent human rights organization, stands in unwavering solidarity with the European Court of Human Rights as it holds Turkey accountable for violating the fundamental principles of justice and human rights.

At Nordic Right, we are committed to advocating for and upholding human rights across the Nordic Region and beyond.

However, one year after its introduction, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledges…

At Nordic Right, we are committed to advocating for and upholding human rights across the Nordic Region and beyond. Today, we stand in solidarity with the residents of the Quartiers Nord in Marseille, France, who have endured years of neglect and violence, and we condemn the recent statements made by President Emmanuel Macron regarding the state’s role in these communities. President Macron’s vow to “be back” in the Quartiers Nord implies a stark reality – that the state’s presence has been conspicuously absent from these neighborhoods for far too long. The Quartiers Nord have been a focal point of political…
