Human Rights Watch (HRW) is a New York City-based international non-governmental organization that conducts research and advocacy on human rights. Along with HRW headquarters in New York City, the organisation has offices in Amsterdam, Beirut, Berlin, Brussels, Chicago, Geneva, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Moscow, Nairobi, Paris, San Francisco, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, Washington, D.C. and Zürich. 

Human Rights Watch in 1997 shared in the Nobel Peace Prize as a founding member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, and it played a leading role in the 2008 treaty banning cluster munitions. 

The organization's annual expenses totaled $50.6 million in 2011 and $69.2 million in 2014. 

Human Rights Watch was founded by Robert L. Bernstein as a private American NGO in 1978, under the name Helsinki Watch, to monitor the former Soviet Union's compliance with the Helsinki Accords. Helsinki Watch adopted a practice of publicly "naming and shaming" abusive governments through media coverage and through direct exchanges with policymakers. By shining the international spotlight on human rights violations in the Soviet Union and its European partners, Helsinki Watch says it contributed to the democratic transformations of the region in the late 1980s. 

Americas Watch was founded in 1981 while bloody civil wars engulfed Central America. Relying on extensive on-the-ground fact-finding, Americas Watch not only addressed perceived abuses by government forces but also applied international humanitarian law to investigate and expose war crimes by rebel groups. In addition to raising its concerns in the affected countries, Americas Watch also examined the role played by foreign governments, particularly the United States government, in providing military and political support to abusive regimes.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) är en New York-baserad internationell icke-statlig organisation som bedriver forskning och påverkansarbete kring mänskliga rättigheter. Tillsammans med HRW:s huvudkontor i New York har organisationen kontor i Amsterdam, Beirut, Berlin, Bryssel, Chicago, Genève, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Moskva, Nairobi, Paris, San Francisco, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, Washington, D.C. och Zürich. Human Rights Watch delade 1997 i Nobels fredspris som en av grundarna av den internationella kampanjen för förbud mot landminor, och den spelade en ledande roll i 2008 års fördrag om förbud mot klustervapen. Organisationens årliga utgifter uppgick till 50,6 miljoner dollar 2011 och 69,2 miljoner dollar 2014. Human Rights Watch grundades av Robert L. Bernstein som en privat amerikansk icke-statlig organisation 1978, under namnet Helsinki Watch, för att övervaka det forna Sovjetunionens efterlevnad av Helsingforsavtalen. Helsingfors Watch antog en praxis med offentligt "namngivande och skenande" kränkande regeringar genom mediebevakning och genom direkt utbyte med beslutsfattare. Genom att belysa de internationella kränkningarna av de mänskliga rättigheterna i Sovjetunionen och dess europeiska partner säger Helsingfors Watch att det bidrog till de demokratiska omvandlingarna i regionen i slutet av 1980-talet. Americas Watch grundades 1981 medan blodiga inbördeskrig uppslukade Centralamerika. Baserat på omfattande faktainsamling på plats, Americas Watch inte bara tog itu med upplevda övergrepp av regeringsstyrkor, men också tillämpad internationell humanitär rätt för att undersöka och avslöja krigsbrott av rebellgrupper. Förutom att ta upp sin oro i de drabbade länderna undersökte Americas Watch också den roll som utländska regeringar, särskilt USA:s regering, spelade för att ge militärt och politiskt stöd till kränkande regimer. 1.
