Our Mission

The Confederation of Humanitarian Nations (CNU) promotes international humanitarian cooperation, the protection of human dignity and fundamental rights, peaceful dialogue among peoples and institutions, sustainable development and the strengthening of local communities.

Under its Statute, the CNU operates through a confederal model bringing together different public, private, institutional and community actors around shared humanitarian principles.

Its purpose is not to replace States, public authorities or existing international institutions, but to create additional channels of cooperation, dialogue and practical humanitarian action while respecting their respective competences and applicable law.

Our Objectives

Protect and Promote Human Rights

The CNU works to promote and protect universally recognized human rights, both individual and collective.

Its activities include human-rights education, awareness, documentation, responsible advocacy, support for Human Rights Defenders and the development of mechanisms through which individuals and communities can bring situations of concern to the attention of the appropriate institutions.

CNU activities in this field are humanitarian, documentary, educational and representative and do not replace the jurisdiction or powers of competent national or international authorities.

Support the Peaceful Self-Determination of Peoples

The CNU supports the principle of self-determination of peoples in accordance with international law and through peaceful, democratic and non-violent means.

It promotes dialogue, documentation, mediation and institutional engagement aimed at helping communities express and preserve their cultural, social and collective identities while encouraging peaceful relations among peoples, States and institutions.
