The Universal Rights Group is an independent think tank located in Geneva that is focused on “analyzing and strengthening global human rights policy”. Among other things, “it provides a forum for discussion and debate” on human rights issues that seeks to bridge the gap between the international human rights system on the one hand and policy-makers and other stakeholders on the other. The International SERF Index is now included as one of the key indicators in their new “State of the World: Human Rights and Democracy” data portal tracking human rights performance across the globe.
