The purpose of this list is to select the different types of interventions that an individual, a human rights organisation or other organisations can undertake on behalf of a victim or a group of victims, or in relation to an event.

This list has been developed by HURIDOCS. It is based on a list included in the previous edition of the HURIDOCS Standard Formats (1). The original codes from this list are included in the column 1st ed. Code.

This is a hierarchical list with two levels, as described in Rule No. 3 in the Introduction.

This Micro-thesaurus is used for field 2609 Type of Intervention in the Intervention format.
