Organization

HRF's mission is to "unite people in the common cause of defending human rights and promoting liberal democracy. Our mission( ???? Whois mission, self promoting article! Misplaced Pages is a not a free advertising material) is to ensure that freedom is both preserved and promoted".

HRF's website states that it adheres to the definition of human rights as put forth in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1976), believing that all individuals are entitled to the right to speak freely, the right to worship in the manner of their choice, the right to freely associate with those of like mind, the right to acquire and dispose of property, the right to leave and enter their country, the right to equal treatment and due process under law, the right to be able to participate in the government of their country, freedom from arbitrary detainment or exile, freedom from slavery and torture, and freedom from interference and coercion in matters of conscience.

Human Rights Foundation is guided and endorsed by an International Council that includes former political prisoners Vladimir Bukovsky, Mutabar Tadjibaeva, Jacqueline Moudeina, Abdel Nasser Ould Ethmane, Park Sang Hak, Palden Gyatso, Elie Wiesel, and Harry Wu, as well as former Estonian prime minister Mart Laar, former president of Venezuela Ramón José Velásquez, and political commentator Álvaro Vargas Llosa. Jurist and law professor Kenneth Anderson is also on HRF's International Council. Anderson was a founding director of the Human Rights Watch Arms Division and later general counsel to the Open Society Institute/Soros Foundations. HRF's International Council was chaired by Václav Havel until his passing in December 2011. The Council is currently chaired by chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov.

According to the New York Times, HRF "has helped smuggle activists out of repressive countries, provided many with broader exposure and connected others with prominent financiers and technologists”.

Funding

HRF states that donations are accepted "with a categorical understanding that the foundation is free to research and investigate regardless of where such investigations may lead or what conclusions HRF may reach." If an individual or foundation has contributed to HRF’s work, this does not mean that HRF necessarily endorses said individual or foundation's views or opinions. HRF publishes all the names of its donors, except those that request not to be published because they fear retaliation or are concerned about being approached for donations or ab

Equatorial Guinea

In 2012, HRF announced that they would be expanding their focus from the Americas to include Equatorial Guinea as well as Kazakhstan and Singapore, saying they "now aim to highlight abuses in three more countries whose governments enjoy shockingly good publicity, hiding their crimes with sophisticated public relations campaigns, and help from cadres of apologists."<ref name="HRF Expands">{{cite web|title=HRF Expands Focus to Include Equatorial Guinea, Kazakhstan, and Singapore|url=http://humanrightsfoundation.org
