WHO ARE WE?

THE HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTE OF SOUTH AFRICA (HURISA) HURISA was founded in June 1993 as an Institute for the Study of Public Violence and served as the research and documentation arm of the Commission of Inquiry into public violence chaired by Retired Judge, Judge Richard Goldstone. When Mr. Mandela visited Norway in 1992, he requested assistance from the Norwegian Government for effective monitoring of the politically based public violence that was threatening the transformation process from apartheid to multiracial democracy in South Africa. That would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of President Nelson Mandela, the father of our democracy. The organisation envisage a society in which all people are aware of their human rights, how their human rights can be realised and redress mechanisms can be accessed. To this end the organisation provide as much human rights education as possibly primarily in South Africa, but also in the region and Continent as whole,
