About Us
Mission of the North-South Project
The North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights (the “Project”) will contribute to the building of an alternative human rights frame that is liberated from the liberal, individual, legalistic, and state-centered apparatus that emerged at the conclusion of World War II as a “Western” human rights regime that became, and continues to be, a conservative weapon for enforcing the geopolitical interests of Western imperialism. The Western supported genocide in Gaza and the continued annexation of the Occupied West Bank has sharpened the irreconcilable contradictions of the Western human rights project resulting in the crisis of legitimacy that it is now experiencing. By rejecting the ideological mystification of a neutral and objective human rights framework, the Project, through educational activities, building transnational cooperative structures and supporting popular struggles, will link oppressed communities, classes and “peoples” from the Global North and South that are moving toward developing movements committed to national and global anti-capitalist, de-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles for social justice, ecological sustainability, national liberation and authentic self-determination.
La Misión
El Proyecto Norte-Sur para los Derechos Humanos Centrados en las Personas (el Proyecto) contribuirá a la construcción de un marco alternativo de derechos humanos que esté liberado del aparato liberal, individualista, legalista y centrado en el estado que surgió al concluir la Segunda Guerra Mundial como un régimen de derechos humanos “occidental” que se convirtió, y sigue siendo, una herramienta conservadora para imponer los intereses geopolíticos del imperialismo occidental. El genocidio apoyado por Occidente en Gaza y la continua anexión de la ocupación en Cisjordania han agudizado las contradicciones irreconciliables del proyecto de derechos humanos occidental, lo que ha resultado en la crisis de legitimidad que está experimentando en la actualidad. Al rechazar la mistificación ideológica de un marco de derechos humanos neutral y objetivo, el Proyecto, a través de actividades educativas, la construcción de estructuras cooperativas transnacionales y el apoyo a las luchas populares, vinculará a comunidades, clases y “pueblos” oprimidos del Norte y Sur Global que están avanzando hacia el desarrollo de movimientos comprometidos con luchas nacionales y globales anticapitalistas, decoloniales y antiimperialistas por la justicia social, la sostenibilidad ecológica, la liberación nacional y la autodeterminación auténtica.
