About Human Rights Today

The 21^st century has witnessed a dramatic increase in legal pursuit of violators of human rights. EIN News launched its Human Rights Today site to aggregate all the news which deals with issues of human rights into one website. International law is broken down into categories such as organizations, courts and cases, making these searchable by geography as well. Then there are classifications of rights abuses such as those of children, religious groups or individuals who are victims of sexual abuse. Terrorism has not been left out either, and we are adding new search criteria every day.

Scanning more than 35,000 news sections from over 5,000 newspapers and online publications and indexing nearly 80,000 new articles every 24 hours, Human Rights Today provides the most comprehensive and up-to-the-minute information available on the web regarding human rights.

Human Rights Today focuses on pre-set news sections edited by a team of experienced editors. Last but not least, the site provides in-depth news coverage of all important events of the day.
