Human Rights Lawyers
Our human rights lawyers use their legal backgrounds to advocate for clients exposed to human rights violations. Our efforts and dedication over the years have resulted in several rulings issued by the European Court of Human Rights in favor of our clients.
We pride ourselves in helping tackle violations of human rights worldwide. We help protect the rights of vulnerable people, women, children, refugees, marginalized and indigenous people, and others. In short, we help in upholding the human rights of people who have suffered great injustices.
In everyone’s life, there can be situations where they find themselves in need of legal support and protection. These situations can arise in various aspects of life: theft of personal property, copyright infringement, purchasing defective goods. That’s when human rights lawyers step in to provide legal assistance to individuals who have become victims of discrimination, violence, unjust persecution, and other rights violations.
International human rights lawyers handle a variety of cases, from protecting the right to life to fighting against torture. Qualified professionals work to ensure that principles of equality and justice are upheld.
It’s crucial to remember that the law is always on the side of the victim. So, reach out to trusted professionals as early as possible. They protect fundamental rights, without which a civilized society cannot be imagined. Their work contributes to the development of the legal system, strengthening the rule of law, and ensuring that laws truly work in favor of every citizen.
What are human rights?
So, human rights are fundamental standards that belong to every member of our society. They ensure a dignified life for everyone and create a foundation for stability and prosperity in society.
Human rights can be divided into civil rights and liberties, political and economic rights, as well as social and cultural rights. Among the fundamental human rights, the following can be highlighted:
- Right to life;
- Freedom of thought and religion;
- Freedom of speech and expression;
- Freedom of movement;
- The right to work;
- The right to rest and leisure;
- The right to education.
At their core, human rights are individual; they apply to all groups of citizens. Respecting human rights is essentially a demand based on our moral values.
Over the past few years, the implementation of human rights has shown significant progress. However, citizens of many countries still suffer from inequality and impunity. The issue of human rights compliance has fundamentally changed its cause. There are numerous international agreements and laws, but they are not always fully adhered to.
Let’s take a closer look at international documents that affirm human rights:
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948): a foundational UN document that establishes basic human rights and freedoms;
- The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) is a document that protects civil and political rights, including the right to life, freedom of speech, and the right to a fair trial;
- The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966) guarantees the right to work, healthcare, education, and an adequate standard of living.
Human rights are the foundation for building a fair and peaceful society. Protecting and promoting them is crucial to ensuring a dignified life for everyone, regardless of where they live or their social status. International and national institutions, including courts and government agencies, are obligated to uphold and protect human rights in all areas of life.
If you’ve been a victim of human rights violations, it’s crucial to immediately reach out to qualified lawyers or human rights organizations that can provide the necessary support and assistance in restoring justice. Our international human rights law firm has extensive experience in defending human rights, so we can help even in the most complex cases.
Who can seek help in protecting human rights?
International laws and agreements serve as a guarantee for the protection of human rights. However, in reality, these rights can be violated, leading to a need for legal defense.
The groups of people who most frequently seek assistance in protecting human rights are:
- Individual citizens. Every person can seek assistance in protecting their rights, whether they are civil or political, economic or social;
- Local and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) often represent the interests of vulnerable groups that cannot protect their rights on their own. NGOs can file appeals with national courts, international organizations, and UN committees;
- Ethnic and religious minorities. Such vulnerable groups often face discrimination and other rights violations due to their identity;
- Victims of violence. People who have experienced violence, oppression, or have been victims of human trafficking have the right to legal protection and can reach out to the relevant authorities or human rights organizations for assistance;
- Political activists and journalists. These professionals often become victims of harassment, oppression, and even physical threats due to their work. Special human rights organizations protect their rights and freedoms, representing their interests in international bodies.

When should you seek a professional lawyer for human rights violations?
If you’ve been a victim of human rights violations, immediately seek help from a qualified professional. In some cases, consulting with a professional lawyer isn’t just important, it’s critically necessary to protect your interests and ensure justice is served.
Below are instances where consulting with and receiving assistance from a human rights lawyer can be crucial.
- If you or someone close to you has been unlawfully detained or arrested, it’s crucial to immediately contact a lawyer. Unlawful actions by law enforcement can lead to serious consequences, including violations of your rights to freedom and personal integrity. A lawyer will help ensure that procedures are lawful, defend your rights in court, and demand release in cases of wrongful arrest;
- Violation of the right to a fair trial. Every person has the right to a fair judicial proceeding. If you are denied access to justice, not provided the right to defense, or if a judicial decision is made in violation of procedural norms, a human rights lawyer can help you challenge these violations. Such a specialist can also represent your interests in court to restore justice;
- Discrimination. If you’ve faced discrimination based on race, nationality, gender, religion, age, or any other characteristic, seeking legal counsel is essential for protecting your rights. Discrimination is a serious violation that can negatively impact your life, career, and social standing. A human rights lawyer can help gather evidence, file a complaint with the appropriate authorities, and demand compensation for the harm caused;
- Violation of privacy and confidentiality rights. Your personal data, correspondence, and private life should be protected against unlawful interference. If your privacy rights have been violated due to illegal surveillance, the publication of confidential information, or an unlawful search, a lawyer can help protect those rights and hold the responsible parties accountable;
- Cruel treatment or torture. If you or your loved ones have been victims of cruel treatment or torture, immediately seek out a lawyer. Such actions are a severe violation of human rights and can be grounds for criminal prosecution of those responsible. A lawyer will ensure the protection of your rights and help bring the case to a fair trial;
- Violation of free speech rights. The right to free speech is fundamental, and any attempts to restrict it must be challenged. If you’re being persecuted for expressing your views, whether it’s related to journalistic activities, public activism, or simply posting on social media, a lawyer can help protect your right to voice your opinion.
