About the Institute

Global Human Rights Institute advances rigorous conservative scholarship on universal human rights. Through research, education, and public discussion, we examine how human dignity, constitutional government, religious liberty, family, property, and civil society sustain human freedom. We welcome serious disagreement, require evidence, and evaluate abuses consistently regardless of the political identity of those responsible.

We are developing an international research and publishing institute based in the United States. Our work brings conservative intellectual traditions into sustained dialogue with the principles of universal human rights. We do not endorse candidates or operate as an electoral campaign organization.

Stephen Kovach is the founder. Governing directors, scholarly advisers, and participating instructors will be identified only after their appointments or agreements are confirmed.
