The Human Rights House was established in November 2011, when member organizations gathered to work continuously to further develop and improve human rights in Serbia through mutual cooperation, commitment and joint activities. Its work is organized through three key areas: human rights, the rule of law and transitional justice.
Since 2014, the Human Rights House has been in the city center, in the facilities that the city of Belgrade has allocated to. At this address, in addition to the day-to-day activities of member organizations, there are a number of activities such as debates and conferences on current issues related to human rights, presentations of relevant publications, etc.
