In times of war we strive to protect the rights of as many people as possible by seeking to enforce the norms of international humanitarian law with legal instruments.
— The name “Every Human Being” refers to the humanitarian principles enshrined in the Geneva Conventions of 12 August, 1949 that constitute the foundation of respect for the human person in cases of armed conflict.
What We Do
We operate across countries, territories, and jurisdictions to help all war-affected individuals defend and restore their rights. Our programs include:
Legal Aid to People Affected by War
We assist with restoration of documents, acquiring temporary protection status in EU, issues regarding governmental payments and any other legal issues arising during the war.
Every Human Being is an independent human rights organization founded in 2022 as a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We believe that every human being is entitled to the protection of their rights guaranteed by international and national laws.
We are a team of 10 people united by shared values. We work together toward a world in which the rights of every human being are fully respected and valued, even in times of war. We cannot stop the war, but it is in our hands to protect the most vulnerable using legal instruments.
