Let's connect
Countries that respect democracy and rule of law contribute to the international legal order and vice versa, protecting the human rights of those most marginalized in society. Protecting and promoting these rights helps foster healthy and participative democracies, generating stability, trust and prosperity across the globe. This also creates opportunities for the Netherlands in areas of international collaboration and investments regarding other topics of interest.
In order to advance human rights objectives, the Embassy invests simultaneously in tackling democratic backsliding in the region and the further development of the international legal order to ensure a better future for all.
