Human Rights Department ILB operates a dedicated Human Rights Department
The Human Rights Department is a dedicated division of the International Law Bureau focused on protecting the rights, freedoms and lawful interests of individuals regardless of their citizenship, place of residence or jurisdiction.
The Department provides comprehensive support for each enquiry, initiative or situation requiring legal, organisational or informational assistance — from analysing circumstances and legal assessment to preparing submissions, proposals and initiatives to competent authorities, and communicating with government bodies, diplomatic missions, insurance companies, medical organisations and other entities.
Main Areas of Activity
The Department provides legal, organisational and informational support in situations related to the protection of human rights, the safety of foreign nationals, tourists, residents and other individuals regardless of their citizenship, country of origin, place of residence or place of stay, as well as effective interaction with government authorities.
The main areas of activity of the Department include:
Our Approach to Work
The Department operates as a professional division of ILB, combining legal expertise, international communication, organisational support and practical assistance in situations requiring precise understanding of procedures and the competences of government authorities.
Particular attention is paid to interaction with foreign nationals, tourists, residents, and nationals of the relevant country who face linguistic, cultural, legal, administrative or other barriers when approaching competent authorities both outside their country of citizenship and within their own jurisdiction.
Within this area, the Department may participate in preparing and supporting volunteer initiatives aimed at assisting tourists, foreign residents, nationals of the relevant country and government authorities within the limits permitted by the legislation of the relevant state.
The Department's activities are based on the principles of legality, respect for the sovereignty of the host state, non-interference in the powers of government authorities, protection of human rights, confidentiality, professional responsibility and constructive cooperation.
Our Values
"We strive to create clear, accurate and effective communication between individuals and competent authorities, promoting the protection of rights, public safety and respect for human dignity."
