The Ogaden
Human Rights Committee (OHRC)
The Ogaden Human Rights Committee
is an independent, voluntary, non-
political non-profit making organisation, founded on 13 June
1995, in Godey,
Ogadenia, to monitor and promote the observance of internationally
accepted
human rights standards in the Ogaden. It investigates all allegations
of
human rights abuses, and when it is satisfied that the claim
is authentic,
documents it.
The Ogaden Human Rights Committee
prepares reports, press releases and
appeals to publicise human rights violations in the Ogaden by
the Ethiopian
government. It campaigns for the improvement and respect of
basic human
rights by educating the people and putting the spotlight on
the Ethiopian
human rights record in the Ogaden.
The Ogaden Human Rights Committee
is supported by contributions from its
members. It accepts unconditional funds from private individuals
and
foundations.
The Organisation is based in Godey,
Ogadenia, and has branches throughout
the Ogaden.
The Ogaden Human Rights Committee
has associate members in Switzerland,
Germany, Norway, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden,
Canada, USA,
Australia, Africa, and the Middle East
