Norway
Each year, Human Rights Watch publishes more than 100 reports and briefings on human rights conditions in some 90 countries. On this page, you can find information about Human Rights Watch research on Norway. Human Rights Watch works closely with Norwegian actors on a wide range of human rights issues including some of Norway’s flagship foreign policy objectives. For example, we engage Norwegians in our efforts to protect education, global health, and the environment; and to limit dangerous weaponry and abuses linked to economic activity. In this, we interact closely with political, NGO, media, and private actors sharing our research and policy recommendations.
