Our Objectives:

The general objective of Kachin Rights International (KRI) is to advocate for the defence, promotion, education, protection and realization of human rights, including civil and political rights of Kachin in Burma and Australia. This will be achieved through advocating for systemic change and raising awareness across the community. Our work also involves exchanging ideas with equivalent bodies around the world.

The aim of Kachin Rights International is to fight against all forms of discrimination and impunity by assisting Kachin who have little or no access to human rights resources. We will be a resource forum for those people that are dealing with human rights violations through the dissemination of information and resources.

Kachin Rights International works for the exercising of the rights of people through the formation, organisation, denouncing of human rights violations at the local, national and international level in coordination with other organisations defending human rights.
