Minority Rights Group is an international, non-governmental organization whose aims are to secure justice for minority (and non-dominant majority) groups suffering discrimination by:
1. Researching and publishing the facts as widely as possible to raise public knowledge and awareness of minority issues worldwide.
2. Advocating on all aspects of human rights of minorities to aid the prevention of dangerous and destructive conflicts.
3. Educating through its schools programme on issues relating to prejudice, discrimination and group conflicts.
