Welcome to the Human Rights WikiProject on the English Wikipedia! We are an informal group of wikipedians dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Human rights. Do join us and contribute to the project's development. Thousands of people read our human rights articles every day and editing one is a great way to improve Wikipedia.
Why not check out our most popular articles and see if there is a subject you are interested in that you think you could contribute to? Alternatively, say hello on the talk page or add yourself to our active list of WikiProject Human rights/Participants. We would love your help!

A monthly popular pages report for this project is available, updated by Community Tech bot.

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.

  • Improve the project's most-viewed pages to Good Article status or higher
