The Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) is a private, autonomous, voluntary non-governmental, non-partisan and non-profit sharing organization envisioning a just and equitable society. It has a mission of empowering the people of Tanzania, so as to promote, reinforce and safeguard human rights and good governance in the country.  The broad objective is to create legal and human rights awareness among the public and in particular the underprivileged section of society through legal and civic education, advocacy linked with legal aid provision, research and human rights monitoring.

The Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) was established in 1995 out of experiences and lessons generated from The Tanzania Legal Education Trust (TANLET) and the Faculty of Law of the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM). The founders of the LHRC were young lawyers who had participated in the legal Aid Committee of the Faculty of Law of the University of Dar-es-salaam and its legal Aid camps. They were somehow disillusioned by the nature of the State and its policies which were increasingly departing from the interests of majority of the people. They observed increasing human rights violations such as, land evictions of Maasai pastoralists, human rights abuses to the people of Hanang whose land had been acquired by the government and turned into big wheat farms of NAFCO. There also were alarming numbers of citizens being in conflict with the law mainly due to ignorance of the law.  The human rights camps started to build awareness on Human Rights issues as clearly such issues were not known. TANLET founding members who were also public servants working as lecturers with the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) thought of the risks involved in challenging the State, hence the idea of setting an independent human rights centre.

Since then LHRC has grown to be known as a leading human rights organisation, human rights watch dog, pace setter, bold and serious organisation as well as flag bearer of human rights in Tanzania.[1]  LHRC’s headquarters are based in Dar es Salaam and has a sub office in Arusha. Its operations are mainly focused in Tanzania mainland with specific interventions in Zanzibar. LHRC is a member of different national, regional, international NGOs Networks and human rights bodies. The LHRC has an observer status with the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights since 2000

Broad Objectives:  For the LHRC to be able to forge its way in the realisation of its mission, it has a broad objective of creating legal and human rights awareness and empowerment among the general public and, in particular, the underprivileged sections of the society through legal and civic education, advocacy, research, follow up of human rights abuses and provision of legal aid.

LAC Assists People from All Walks of Life
The LAC's main objective is to protect the human rights of all Namibians. It is the only organisation of its kind in Namibia. It has an office in Windhoek, Namibia's capital. It is funded primarily by national and international donor organisations. Its work is supervised by the Legal Assistance Trust, whose trustees include legal practitioners, other professionals and community leaders.

It works in five broad areas:

• Litigation
• Information and Advice
• Education and Training
• Research
• Law Reform and Advocacy

Litigation
The Legal Assistance Centre is a public interest law firm based in Windhoek.The LAC only takes on public interest cases. A public interest case is a legal case which will have a wider impact on the community than just assisting the individual concerned. Such a case may establish a new legal rule, which will change the law for the entire country or address a discriminatory policy or practice. Or it may attract attention to a problem that is affecting many people.

Examples of cases taken up by the Legal Assistance Centre include:

• The right of a school learner to return to school after her child was born
• The right of an accused in a complicated criminal trial to obtain legal aid
• The right of a widow to keep the land she lived on during her marriage after the death of her husband
• The right of a HIV-positive person not to be dismissed from employment based on their HIV status

Even if we cannot help you with your case, we may be able to give you information on your rights and on steps you can take to help yourself.

Legal Information and Advice
We provide legal information and advice on human rights in the following areas:

• HIV/AIDS - including advice on what to do if you are discriminated against, information on workplace policies, access to treatment for HIV.
• Gender Equality - including information on rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment in the workplace, inheritance, marriage, divorce and maintenance.
• Human Rights and the Constitution - such as the right to basic education, the right to health, citizenship, immigration issues and the right not to be tortured or ill-treated.
• Land, Environment and Development - including inheritance, conservancies, illegal fencing, environmental issues, and issues affecting especially disadvantaged groups such as the Himba and the San.

If you want to speak to a paralegal about a legal issue you are concerned about, phone us at +264-61-22-3356 or come to the office at 4 Marien Ngouabi, Windhoek. The office is open for basic advice from Monday to Friday, 08h00-11h30, and 14h00-16h00 (on Fridays the office closes at 15h00).

Education and Training
We also run training workshops for communities and service providers (such as legal officials, traditional leaders, school principals, police and social workers) on:

• Gender - friendly laws including rape and domestic violence
• Communal Land Reform Act and conservancy-related legislation
• HIV/AIDS and rights
• Basic human rights training

Research
The LAC also carries out research, particularly on the need for new laws and the implementation of existing laws. Some recent research reports which are available are:

• Namibian Law on LGBT issues
• Scraping the Pot: San in Namibia
• Access to Justice series

Law Reform and Advocacy
We advocate for law reform based on our research. Examples of laws which the LAC
contributed to and advocated for are:

• Combating of Rape Act
• Combating of Domestic Violence Act
• Maintenance Act
• Non discrimination on the basis of HIV in the Labour Act
• Child Care and Protection Act

Free of Charge
All our services are free of charge.

Donations are very welcome.

LEAP came into existence in 1988 when a group of KwaZulu-Natal land practitioners from NGOs, government and the private sector began to focus on why the communal property institutions (CPIs) set up under land reform appeared to be failing. The Legal Entity Assessment Project, as it was initially known, questioned the widely held view that the land reform communal property associations (CPAs) and trusts needed capacity building. Instead, LEAP argued that there were no clear indicators for assessing success or failure and that these micro institutions were overloaded with development objectives that often were the proper responsibility of government. In the search for firm foundational objectives, LEAP suggested that tenure security for individuals and the group as an entity was the primary purpose of CPIs, and that other development objectives could be built on this foundation.

Thinking practically and conceptually about how to achieve this took LEAP on a long journey that gradually pulled in people from across the country in both the rural and urban sectors who were working on land administration, customary tenure, housing and tenure arrangements.

LEAP is no longer in existence but its work remains of value to current initiatives to reform and secure tenure and recognise off-register rights in South Africa. Key documents from its archives have been uploaded to the Land Portal.

The Legal Resources Centre (LRC) is South Africa’s largest public interest, human rights law clinic. Established in 1979, we use the law as an instrument of justice for the vulnerable and marginalised, including poor, homeless and landless people.

Finding answers in land

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is an independent, nonpartisan organization whose mission is to help solve global economic, social, and environmental challenges to improve the quality of life through creative approaches to the use, taxation, and stewardship of land. As a private operating foundation whose origins date to 1946, the Lincoln Institute seeks to inform public dialogue and decisions about land policy through research, training, and effective communication. By bringing together scholars, practitioners, public officials, policy makers, journalists, and involved citizens, the Lincoln Institute integrates theory and practice and provides a forum for multidisciplinary perspectives on public policy concerning land, both in the United States and internationally.

The Lincoln Institute's work is organized into three thematic areas:

• Planning and Urban Form
• Valuation and Taxation
• International Studies

A Brief History

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy traces its origins to John C. Lincoln, a Cleveland industrialist and investor who in 1946 established the Lincoln Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona. He was intrigued by the writings of Henry George, as expressed in the book Progress and Poverty(1879), in particular George's ideas about land ownership and taxation. Lincoln created the Foundation to support other institutions in the teaching, research, and publication of information about George's work.

From the late 1940s through the early 1970s, the Lincoln Foundation sponsored a variety of university-based education and research programs on theoretical and applied economics and taxation. In 1966 the Foundation established the John C. Lincoln Institute at the University of Hartford in Connecticut, and in 1968 it supported the creation of the Land Reform Training Institute in Taiwan (renamed the International Center for Land Policy Studies and Training in 1998).

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy was established as a school in 1974 and became the Foundation's primary grant recipient to develop multidisciplinary education, research, and publications programs. The Institute focused on property valuation and taxation policy, urban planning and development, land economics, and property rights. To expand its work internationally, the Institute established the Program on Latin America and the Caribbean in 1993 and the Program on the People's Republic of China in 2003.

In 2006 the Lincoln Foundation and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy merged to become a private operating foundation. The organization continues its focus on research, publications, and training, while seeking a more active role in the conversations that shape public policy decisions.

Operational since 2015, Local Development Research Institute (LDRI) is an non-profit action-oriented think tank whose work contributes to the efforts of African governments to end extreme poverty, end hunger and reduce inequalities. With 65% of Africa’s labor force employed in the agriculture sector (which contributes approximately 30% of the continent’s GDP), widening inequality along gender lines and the increasing need to achieve food sufficiency for 1.5 billion people by 2020, it is clear that agriculture and the protection of women’s rights will be pivotal to achieving these objectives.

LDRI is therefore focused on the role and capacity of public sector institutions to deliver on the continent’s development agenda through multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder and evidence informed approaches.

Our strategic objectives for the period 2016 to 2020 are:

1. Strengthening the Africa data ecosystem to support the planning, monitoring and review of interventions to drive agricultural transformation in Africa.
2. Supporting processes for evidence-informed policies in Africa that ensure the delivery of sustainable development for everyone.
3. Building capacity of stakeholders to use and make their evidence open and accessible to others.

Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research and Development (LI-BIRD) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 1995 in Nepal. It capitalizes on local initiatives for sustainable management of renewable natural resources and helps improve the livelihoods of resource poor and marginalized people.

LI-BIRD has contributed to the development of approaches for participatory research and development, and has generated impacts that have enhanced the livelihoods of resource-poor farmers through technological and policy changes. LI-BIRD has strengthened techniques of Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) and Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) for crop improvement and community-based biodiversity management.

LI-BIRD is recognised as a Centre of Excellence for its contribution in shaping national policy, and for developing good practices for conservation of agricultural biodiversity on-farm.

“We are a social development organization that works with civil society, government and businesses to bring about a society of active citizens supported by effective and democratic governance.”

Loka Ahlinn was formed by nine core members from educational backgrounds in 2006. It aimed to address the question of how to develop an education platform in Myanmar. Projects started in community management and training, including establishment of two training centres, in Yangon and Magway.

The organisation expanded operations in the wake of Cyclone Nargis in 2008, which devastated delta regions, communities and livelihoods. Projects were formed to aid recovery processes and livelihood development, during which time Loka Ahlinn grew to around 100 staff.

Loka Ahlinn was able to shift and refine its aim further to reflect changes in government policy from 2010 on wards. The current transition towards a more open and democratic society allowed us to establish projects to promote and protect human rights and to enable communities to have a voice in local decision making.

This included rule of law work in six districts of Myanmar and social development projects to strengthen civil society organizations around the country. Our work is grouped into tow thematic programme areas that aim to build a society of active citizens that can exercise their rights, and to improve the effectiveness of and participation in local governance.

Our logo

Our logo  design reflects the aims and ambitions of Loka Ahlinn and for Myanmar society as a whole. The eight fingers of the hands represent the ‘88 student movement and everything the movement represents. Turned on their side, the hands become shaped like a peacock, symbolizing the popular people’s movement in Myanmar. The central heart stands for tenderness and love, and is a symbol of peace. The colors represent light, flying high and progressing forward.

Our work in context

Sixty years of totalitarian military rule have prevented the development of strong social institutions. This threatens the future of the reform process that began in 2010. Even though new spaces have opened, the military has retained a dominant place in the state under the 2008 constitution, and social institutions are still too weak to balance the “post-military” state.

We don’t know yet if this opening is permanent or genuine. The future of the country cannot be predicted. There are three scenarios: a formal return of the military regime, a reformed state that is controlled by a wider group of elites, or a consolidated democracy.

Loka Ahlinn is committed to building the preconditions for the third scenario, which will require the rebuilding of mutual trust between the state and the people.

There are three essential areas of reform that are not yet enacted:

1) Balancing the civil-military relationship

2) De-centralizing control of the state over society and ethnic minority states

3) Strengthening society so that it is able to balance and counter the power of the state.

Our analysis is that the key agents in these deep reforms are civil society, the political parties, the ethnic-minority populations, and public institutions.

We will directly engage with civil society where our experience, capacities and networks lie. During this strategic phase, we will particularly work to link traditional and apolitical social groups with social movements that demand political change and seek to balance to the power of the state. We will also focus our new work with public institutions at the local level where the immediate potential for state responsiveness and accountability are located. We will limit ourselves to strategic engagement with political parties as many others work programmatically with them.

LOM Ediciones nace en 1990 como un proyecto de carácter cultural que fomenta la lectura, la creación, la reflexión, la memoria y el pensamiento crítico a través de la palabra escrita.

Desde entonces, busca contribuir a reponer al libro como centro de nuestro quehacer, intencionando con ello procesos educativos, potenciando sujetos curiosos, con mirada crítica del mundo, que les permita transformarse y transformar sus prácticas y las de la realidad que les toca vivir, capaces de ser creadores y actores de su sociedad. De este modo, desde sus inicios, LOM se ha propuesto hacer del libro un objeto interpelador y transformador.

Hoy, con más de veinticinco años, LOM Ediciones ha publicado más de 1.600 títulos. Entre ellos se puede encontrar la más importante colección de poesía chilena, así como textos imprescindibles y fundamentales en las áreas de la historia chilena y latinoamericana, filosofía, ciencias políticas, sociología, psicología, novelas y cuentos, memorias y testimonios, teatro, literatura infantil y juvenil, investigación periodística, humor, fotografía y artes, pedagogía y educación. Libros que buscan siempre convocar a los más amplios públicos.

La actual presencia que LOM Ediciones tiene en la escena cultural chilena y latinoamericana, se debe no solo a que ha logrado conformar un catálogo que reúne a nuevos autores, a connotados creadores e intelectuales chilenos y latinoamericanos, y a destacados clásicos de las letras universales, dentro de una enorme diversidad temática; sino también porque ha logrado ser un proyecto independiente, coherente y  con una línea editorial consistente.

Tenemos la convicción de que el conocimiento y el acceso a la cultura es fuente de liberación, y que el libro debe ser un instrumento democratizador de nuestras sociedades. Por ello, desde los inicios, hemos apostado a una política donde nuestros títulos no tengan como obstáculo las capacidades adquisitivas de los lectores. Que el libro esté al alcance, tanto en forma, como en sus contenidos.

Core Values

The University affirms these values as central to its view of education.

COMPASSION—The sympathetic willingness to be engaged with the needs and sufferings of others. Among the most memorable depictions of compassion in Scripture is the story of the Good Samaritan, which Loma Linda University has taken as a central symbol of our work.

INTEGRITY—The quality of living a unified life in which one's convictions are well-considered and match one's actions. Integrity encompasses honesty, authenticity, and trustworthiness.

EXCELLENCE—The commitment to exceed minimum standards and expectations.

FREEDOM—The competency and privilege to make informed and accountable choices and to respect the freedom of others. God has called us not to slavery but to freedom.

JUSTICE—The commitment to equality and to treat others fairly, renouncing all forms of unfair discrimination. The God of the Bible is One who calls people continually to justice. According to the prophets, religious faith could be genuine only when it led the believers to "seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphans, [and] plead for the widow."

PURITY/SELF-CONTROL—The commitment to be morally upright and moderate in all things, with complete control over one's emotions, desires, and actions.

HUMILITY—The

London Mining Network (LMN) is an alliance of human rights, development, environmental and solidarity groups.

We work for

• human rights, including the rights of Indigenous Peoples and workers, and
• sustainable development (development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs in communities around the world affected by the activities of mining companies based in or funded from London

We do this by

• Monitoring abuses of human rights, Indigenous rights and workers’ rights in mining-affected communities, and seeking redress;
• Research into the impacts of mining on human rights, the environment and sustainable development;
• Raising awareness of the impacts of mining on human rights, the environment and sustainable development;
• Promoting public support for the rights of mining-affected communities;
• Promoting respect for human rights and the environment by mining companies;
• Advocacy on mining, human rights, the environment and sustainable development;
• Working to eliminate infringements of human rights by mining companies and bodies working in support of mining companies.

Why?

Mining is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It is linked with conflict and human rights abuses. Most of the world’s biggest mining companies, and many smaller mining companies, are listed on the London Stock Exchange, and on its Alternative Investment Market (AIM). For more information on London’s key role in the global mining industry, see our Mining and London page.

Two major facilities for materials research are currently under construction in Lund: the MAX IV Laboratory, which will be a world-leading synchrotron radiation laboratory and ESS, a European facility that will be home to the world’s most powerful neutron source. These will be of decisive importance for materials and life sciences and for industrial development. In Lund, Medicon Village has also been established and will offer a unique environment for life sciences; integrating research, innovation and enterprise creates the conditions for improved health and quality of life.
