The aim of
the Africa project is to provide information about the human rights

Nuremberg:
A symbol against the violation of human rights
The Nuremberg
Trials of the principle Nazi war criminals is an important point
of reference for human rights defenders throughout the world,
and the name Nuremberg continues to be closely linked with these
tribunals. Our location in Nuremberg constantly reminds us of
the importance of coming to terms with the past and challenges
us to promote accountability rather than impunity for violation
of human rights.

Impunity
Impunity is
one of the biggest obstacles in the struggle for human rights
in the world today. The NMRZ has always been involved in efforts
to end impunity, in particular fighting for justice for the victims
of the military dictators in Latin America. Since March 1998 the
NMRZ has served as the headquarters for the “Coalition Against
Impunity – Truth and Justice for the German Disappeared in
Argentina“, a network of 15 German NGOs working to ascertain
the fate of the German victims of the dictatorship in Argentina
and to prosecute those responsible.

The Nuremberg
Human Rights Center is recognized as a non-profit association,
and donations are tax-deductible.
Human rights
in Latin America
The Nuremberg
Human Rights Center is also responsible for the Center of Documentation
and Information about Human Rights in Latin America.
The Center
for Documentation and Information about Human Rights in Latin
America (DIML) contains an extensive collection of magazines,
books and other documents concerning human rights in general and
human rights work in Latin America in particular, which are all
available to the public. In our documentation center, there are
approximately 300 magazines from nearly every Latin American country,
as well as a special library consisting of 500 books and numerous
other documents.
Access to
these materials is free, and we can also provide assistance with
requests for research and questions from individuals outside of
the Nuremberg area. A small fee is charged for this assistance.
We recommend that requestors formulate their questions as precisely
as possible so that we can better assist with finding the most
helpful information.

Publications
To maintain
an ongoing exchange of ideas and information with Latin American
human rights organisations, the DIML annually publishes the magazine
"Memoria". We also occasionally publish our own research
results, but prefer to utilise existing media to publish information
about our work concerning human rights in Latin America.
Human Rights
Education
In Latin America,
there is widespread teaching of human rights outside of the schools.
One of our goals is to emphasise the fundamental, inalienable
nature of human rights through our educational efforts in German
schools.
The NMRZ has
also co-developed the "The Street of Human Rights" program,
and has compiled a packet of materials on the teaching of human
rights. This educational kit contains basic items for teaching
human rights, including a general introduction and information
on various specific topics. This kit can be borrowed from the
Nuremberg Human Rights Center and from other locations (please
call for more information).
For a fee,
a binder with materials about human rights education with examples
fur different age levels is also available. We offer further literature
and didactic materials about human rights and children rights
which are listed in our catalogue (please request or download
from the Internet).

Volunteers/Internships
The NMRZ and
the DIML are mainly supported by the volunteer work of our members.
We welcome individuals interested in volunteering, either within
the existing framework of the Center or through the creation of
new working areas. It is also possible to perform an unpaid internship
at the NMRZ. The ability to work independently within the scope
of a project agreed upon by the Center’s directors is a prerequisite.
Inquiries about internships, with a description of the proposed
project and working area, should be directed to rainer.huhle@menschenrechte.org
