Scope[edit]

The project's scope includes all subjects predominantly pertaining to human rights, such as:

types of human rights in all countries or rights violations
laws and court decisions pertaining to human rights
individuals or organizations known for human rights advocacy
recipients of major human rights prizes
individuals who are subjects of major advocacy by human rights groups, such as Amnesty International-designated prisoners of conscience
genocides, pogroms, war crimes, police brutality, censorship, and other events widely discussed in a human rights context
participants in International Criminal Court proceedings
works enumerating or discussing human rights

To avoid diffusing the project's focus, articles on countries, governments, political parties, and political leaders are generally excluded unless they meet one of the above categories.

Can we please get to the bottom of Dorothy Dandridge's involvement in the U.S. Civil Rights Era? A rumor has been circulating that she dipped her toe in the pool at the Hotel Last Frontier in Vegas after she performed there for two weeks, but the veracity of this claim is hard to pin down, especially with Snopes saying it may or may not be true. Perhaps you have some resources to bring to bear on the matter. -- ke4roh (talk) 00:18, 15 August 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seeking help with Lever Brothers, a company that used forced labour extensively in the Belgian Congo. I want to expand it but another editor who has threatened to either block me or have be blocked keeps deleting large passages seemingly at random.

Can someone help with review of draft article about Omar Alshogre, (https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=Draft:Omar_Alshogre), survivor and advocate for justice for prisoners in Syria? There is a similar page in French Wikipedia but nothing yet in English where it would be more helpful. Probonostockholm (talk) 11:37, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
can someone make an independent article about the mass human rights abuse in Turkey against Kurds? The Kurdish-Turkish conflict article had enough material as well as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has an extensive 25 page report about them (linked hereafter) [1]. - Kevo327 (talk) 23:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
