POV

[edit]

I flagged the section which quotes NGO Monitor. I have no opinion on either organisation but the section seems very one sided.--Jkspratt 04:13, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is also stated that the organization is independent of government when that is an unverifiable claim. Their website actually thanks many government departments for their support. --ෆාට් බුබුල (talk) 03:51, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FIDH's members

[edit]

FIDH looks like the sort of organization that will allow anyone to become a member so long as they have "human rights" in the title. Its outrageous what you can get away with if you've got enough front and a sympathetic audience. After all, FIDH must know what its doing as its run by 'professionals'.

Please do not remove this information about the membership of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights without discussing it here first.I'm willing to listen and discuss. But in my opinion FIDH shouldn't be allowed simply to cover up this sort of shoddy work.

It's pretty clear by who sponsors them that they are the human rights equivalent of greenwashing--ෆාට් බුබුල (talk) 03:54, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

[edit]

I would like to request that the title of this article be changed because the "of" is ungrammatical in English. The French preposition "de" does not automatically map to "of" in English. In the FIDH's own letters the grammatically correct "for" is used (e.g. http://www.fidh.org/OPEN-LETTER-TO-MR-JOSE-LUIS, http://www.fidh.org/FIDH-and-CCR-Praise-Bermuda, etc.). The suggested title would therefore be: International Federation for Human Rights

Another option might be International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), as I notice the FIDH consistency includes the French acronym following the English name.John Pilgrim (talk) 09:05, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

Someone tagged the article as if notability of the FIDH might be problematic, and possibly leading to the deletion of the article.
Frankly, with nearly a hundred articles linking to an article, I don't see how its subject's notablility can be doubted.

"UNHCR's Strategic Information Partners provide Refworld with a critical mass of knowledge and information and are drawn from the NGO sector, Intergovernmental Organisations, Academic Institutions and National Governments. Our partners are widely recognized, particularly in jurisprudence, for having achieved a reputation for delivering authoritative, relevant and timely assessments and analysis of socio-political, human rights, and legal situations around the world."

This quote is the heading of the UNHCR's list of Information Partners last updated 25 February 2010, 16:08 GMT, retrieved 25 February 2010 18:11 GMT, on its web site. Anyone questioning the notability of the United Nations? And for one of the "widely recognized" partners "for having achieved a reputation" that does not sound all too trivial, the UNHCR states:

International Federation of Human Rights
FIDH's mandate is to contribute to the respect of all the rights defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. FIDH aims at obtaining effective improvements in the protection of victims, the prevention of Human Rights violations and the sanction of their perpetrators.

The tag will be removed within minutes, and the reference will be included.

Non-primary sources and rewrite from third-party POV still very much needed...

[edit]

The tags dated 2009 and 2015 stating the need for more non-primary sources and saying that the article reads too much like an advertisement remain very much valid. Boud (talk) 00:11, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
