Human rights are interdependent and universal Human rights include civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights Human rights are protected through building social movements Human rights movements must ensure leadership by those directly affected Human rights advocacy must always respect the diversity within communities Human rights organizations must be financially responsible and accountable The goals of the International Human Rights Association Network are four-fold:

To increase the visibility for the IHRA movement To build the capacity of IHRA groups to carry out their work To strengthen links between IHRA activists and movements across issues and sectors of work To link IHRA activists with the global human rights movement To meet these goals the Network will establish itself as a coordinating center for organizations developing pro-active human rights alternatives to existing policies, structures, and strategies. As a coordinating center, the Network will:
