CIVICUS has researched and compiled a Compendium of International Legal Instruments and other Inter-Governmental Commitments Concerning Core Civil Society Rights. This details and collates commitments made by national governments at the regional and UN level, to ensure that civil society can carry out its activities. The first of its’ kind, the compendium is a very useful reference point for CSOs working to ensure human rights and other national, regional and international commitments are acknowledged and carried out. It is a document that should be in the library of any civil society activist.
