Statistics and data on what HRAS achieved during the past 12 months
Human Rights at Sea (HRAS) issued its annual report since its establishment on April 2014.
HRAS is an independent maritime human rights NGO aiming to ‘explicitly raise awareness, implementation and accountability of human rights provisions throughout the maritime environment, especially where they are currently absent, ignored or being abused“.
The Annual Report includes charitable objectives, HRAS activities, successes and international delivery, international campaigns, programmes and projects, support to projects for saving migrant lives in the Mediterranean Sea and a case study of a missing seafarer. Also statistics and data on what HRAS achieved during the past 12 months.
‘Organisational growth in terms of the numbers of developing international programmes and projects, the investigation, preparation and drafting of international case studies highlighting incidents of abuse, the development of vanguard maritime human rights initiatives, the development of soft-law materials, the growth of the internship programme and the response to increased international recognition of our work has taken all involved by genuine surprise. We are also proud to be able to announce that HRAS now has become a Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) under the oversight of the UK Charity Commission.” stated David Hammond, CEO and Founder, HRAS
‘For seafarers, fishermen and their families the vanguard Missing Seafarers Reporting Programme has been an emerging success; another innovative concept proudly led by HRAS on behalf of those it serves. Recording the details of those who are missing at sea now has global engagement and the programme continues to expand in terms of growth of the platform’s evidential, investigative and influence capabilities. Further investment should at least double the platform’s capabilities and its support to related programmes and projects.”, he added
