Line 26: − ==Goals== − − Human Rights Watch claims that its main goal is to use the [[media]] in preserving and prospering [[human rights]]. They state that, “by exposing human rights violations, [the] publicity shames abusers and helps to put pressure on them to reform their conduct.” − The organizations official goals according to their website are:<ref> HRW goals - http://www.hrw.org/about/ </ref> − *Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. − *To stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, to uphold political freedom, to protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring offenders to justice. − * Investigate and expose human rights violations and hold abusers accountable. − *Challenge governments and those who hold power to end abusive practices and respect international human rights law. − *Enlist the public and the international community to support the cause of human rights for all.
no point in listing its stated goals, unless there is some reason to trust that they are actually working towards them. By all accounts, they have another purpose
'''Human Rights Watch''' is a [[liberal]] advocacy group posing as a [[human rights]] watchdog.

{{Cquote|""Who will guard the guardians?" asked Roman satirist Juvenal. Now we must ask, who is watching Human Rights Watch, one of the world's best-financed and most influential human rights organizations? It turns out that they cook the books about facts, cheat on interviews, and put out pre-determined conclusions that are driven more by their ideology than by evidence. These are serious accusations, and they are demonstrably true……... Human Rights Watch no longer deserves the support of real human rights advocates. Nor should its so-called reporting be credited by objective news organizations.” <ref>Alan Dershowitz,[ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/the-human-rights-watch-_b_27701.html “The "Human Rights Watch" Watch, Installment 1”] </ref>" }}
