Help Save the RWI Human Rights Library Today!

We've now launched a crowdfunding campaign - and we need your support!

While we wait for a formal decision from the Swedish Government in response to our appeal for public funding, we're turning to our friends, partners, and alumni around the world. Help us keep our Library open and ensure that we can continue our Research and Education activities!

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Human Rights Library has been an essential foundation for the Institute’s work. The library holds one of the largest collections of literature on human rights and humanitarian law in Europe and is the only human rights library in Sweden. It has been the mainstay for countless students, faculty, visiting researchers, and practitioners of human rights around the world.

Without adequate and long-term financial resources to sustain its operations, RWI is unable to keep the library's doors open beyond 2025. We need your support urgently. Please make a contribution today by clicking "Donate".

Promoting Human Rights Worldwide

We are a research and academic institution that works to promote and advance human rights through knowledge. Since 1984, our mission is to promote universal respect for human rights and humanitarian law. We carry out multi-disciplinary human rights research, provide academic education, support, and advice.

The institute is named after Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Jews and other people at risk in Hungary at the end of World War II.
