European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights
The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) was founded in 2007. ECCHR uses legal means to enforce human rights, to fight double standards in the application of international law and to hold powerful actors, such as states and corporations, to account. It focuses on transnational litigation, responding to requests from local organizations interested in using international and European legal forums to bring strategic human rights cases against state and non-state actors.
The Sigrid Rausing Trust also previously supported ECCHR from 2008-2018.
