The association aims to support, in particular in countries of the Third World, but also in emerging countries and developed states, organizations, local groups and philanthropic institutions as well as individuals and professional associations that strive to uphold human rights. The association acts proactively and supports victims of state violence, innocent individuals in need and their families with financial and other material and immaterial means.
