Human Rights Watch (HRW)
- Website: www.hrw.org
- Founded 1988 (originally Helsinki Watch, founded in 1978); claimed an annual budget of over $50 million in 2005.
- Based in New York, headed by Kenneth Roth.
- 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for Campaign to Ban Landmines.
- CLAIM: "The hallmark and pride of Human Rights Watch is the even-handedness and accuracy of our reporting. To maintain our independence, we do not accept financial support from any government or government-funded agency."
- In contrast, detailed NGO Monitor analyses demonstrate the disproportionate condemnations of Israeli security policy.
- HRW was an active participant in the 2001 Durban conference, and continues to campaign in favor of boycotts and other measures against Israel.
