The NHRF was established in 1988 by Norwegian non-governmental organisations with the aim to protect and promote human rights internationally. One of the key objectives was to establish a channel for support to sensitive human rights initiatives effectuated in an informal and effcient manner. The founding organisations and owners in the first year were the Norwegian Institute (now Centre) for Human Rights, the Norwegian Federation of Trade Unions, The Church of Norway Ecumenical Council and the Norwegian Red Cross.
