In 2003, Human Rights in China (HRIC) launched its Olympics Campaign, Incorporating Responsibility 2008, to leverage international and domestic windows of opportunity promoting equitable development, freedom of expression, and other human rights in China. HRIC works to expand independent civil space in China by developing concrete recommendations and engaging corporate leaders, professionals, government actors, scholars, activists, and the media to support domestic activists and reforms. Through research, advocacy and media work, HRIC’s Olympics Campaign focuses on monitoring human rights progress and compliance with Beijing’s Olympic and other international human rights obligations in the lead-up to and after the Olympics in 2008.
