HURIDOCS provides support to five regional/linguistic documentation networks which it helped to establish. The networks can be contacted via their websites (see below) or the HURIDOCS secretariat.

1. The European Coordination Committee on Human Rights Documentation (ECCHRD)

The network is composed of documentation centres and human rights organisations based in Europe. The Secretariat, currently held by Amnesty International, is rotating among active network members.

The most recent meeting took place in Lund, Sweden on 7 and 8 June 2007. It was hosted by the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.

The ECCHRD also has its own website, set up by SIM, available here.
