International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development
The International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development (Rights & Democracy) was created to be a non-partisan, independent Canadian institution. It was established by an act of the Canadian parliament in 1988 to "encourage and support the universal values of human rights and the promotion of democratic institutions and practices around the world." R&D received around Can$11m per year in funding from the Canadian government.
