In response, HRN investigates and reports on the violations of international human rights and humanitarian law committed on the ground during armed conflicts, and it urges the international community to prevent further human rights violations by raising alarms and condemning them, as well as by taking steps towards justice and accountability by creating independent commissions of inquiry and bringing cases before the ICC. Moreover, HRN condemns the use of inhumane weapons and calls for their abolishment.
Further, HRN investigates and advocates against human rights violations committed by states’ armies under military dictatorships and in the course of militarization.
