Human Rights Watch's expert staff includes country specialists, lawyers, journalists, advocates, and academics of diverse backgrounds and nationalities. These experts conduct fact-finding missions and investigate human rights abuses, impartially reporting on the human right conditions in some 100 countries. Their facts are then used in our targeted advocacy to promote human rights and justice around the world.
 
Our work is guided by our senior management and staff, board of directors, council leadership and advisory committees.
