Respect for, promotion and protection of human rights are core values of Danish international engagements. Support to promotion and protection of human rights has for decades been a priority for Denmark both in its foreign policy and been an integral part of its development cooperation. In June 2016, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) commissioned Nordic Consulting Group to undertake an Evaluation of Danish Support to Promotion and Protection of Human Rights covering the period from 2006 to 2016. Two separate reports have been prepared – a main evaluation report and a portfolio analysis. The main evaluation report is focused on two specific areas of Danish support to Human Rights: 1) rule of law and better access to justice, and 2) freedom from torture.
