Annual report to the Danish Parliament 2015-16

The institute’s annual report to the Danish parliament offers an overview of the most important improvements and setbacks for human rights in Denmark.

The institute has a legal obligation to provide an annual account on human rights for the Danish parliament and the report serves as a key document in our counselling on human rights issues to the Danish members of parliament.

In the report, we also provide a brief insight into our research and international work and the important knowledge that we gain through cooperation projects with local National Human Rights Institutions and authorities, as well as in international fora.

Human rights are at a crossroad. On the one hand, the human-rights situation in Denmark is generally good: actually one of the best in the world. Moreover, as you can read in this report, progress is being made all the time. However, on the other hand, whether Denmark should continue to follow conventions and international agreements is being questioned as never before.
