Accountability for Serious Crimes

We actively seek accountability for the gravest human rights abuses, such as crimes against humanity and genocide. We pursue justice by representing the interests of victims before international bodies and tribunals, including the International Criminal Court and international human rights mechanisms, or by supporting the activation of universal jurisdiction or individual targeted sanctions. Through meticulous documentation of violations and targeted advocacy, we strive to secure justice and redress for those whose rights have been violated, holding both governments and individuals accountable for their actions.


New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
