Does Human Rights Watch concern itself with the millions of people suffering, starving, and dying because they live in poverty?
Yes. Rather than handing out economic assistance we are not a service-delivery organization Human Rights Watch addresses the underlying causes of poverty, such as discrimination, armed conflict, and displacement. We also examine human rights violations that exacerbate humanitarian crises, such as restrictions on the media and attacks on humanitarian agencies. We press governments and international financial institutions to incorporate human rights concerns into their economic development strategies.
