The primary focus of the NAACP continues to be the protection and enhancement of the civil rights of African Americans and other minorities.

We welcome researchers working on minority rights from all over the world and seek to provide a resource for policy makers, advocates and academics engaged in these issues. The purpose of this website is to improve access to information and knowledge by the creation of a regularly updated database of news items, statutes, cases and analysis pertaining to the protection of minority rights globally. The website aims to effectively disseminate information about the growing relevance of minority rights law; and to facilitate the exchange of information and expertise among researchers, professionals and advocates of indigenous and minority rights.

Works to secure the rights of ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities and indigenous peoples worldwide, and to promote cooperation and understanding between communities.
