Library

The German Institute for Human Rights houses a human rights library open to the public. The library offers print and electronic media, including reference books and the most important journals on international and European human rights policy and protection. It also contains extensive holdings on current research related to human rights.

Our library is particularly well stocked in the areas of human rights education, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The library organises readings, offers training sessions on human rights internet research and campaigns nationally and internationally for better accessibility of libraries.
