Our Services
Human Rights Policy Development
We assist governments in creating and implementing progressive, human rights-forward policies that address domestic and international challenges. Our work ensures alignment with international treaties, legal standards, and conventions, promoting sustainable governance and justice. We also support the vital work of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), including advising on strategy, assisting with human rights investigations, and supporting the research and publication of reports on thematic human rights issues.
Assistance on Global Human Rights Reporting
We assist governments in improving their human rights compliance, such as by supporting relevant officials in preparing periodic reports for and engaging with UN treaty bodies, developing and implementing strategies to ensure a highly productive collaboration with the UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process, and developing and implementing strategic plans to address recommendations from multilateral human rights bodies.
Advocacy and Global Engagement
Perseus Strategies supports governments in fostering strategic relationships with international organizations, the U.S. Government, and NGOs. Leveraging our expertise, we design and implement comprehensive advocacy campaigns that help governments achieve their goals, amplify their voices on the global stage, and increase their influence in shaping international policy. Our services include developing and implementing comprehensive strategies to achieve their public policy goals.
Crisis Response and Resolution
We provide governments with actionable strategies to address human rights crises, mitigate reputational risks, and implement durable solutions. Our experience includes advising on highly sensitive situations and facilitating stakeholder negotiations to achieve lasting outcomes.
Legal Advisory and Regulatory Compliance
We guide governments in navigating emerging regulatory frameworks and fulfilling their international legal obligations. From treaty ratification and legislative reform to compliance with U.S. laws to advising on U.S. sanctions programs at the State Department and Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), we provide comprehensive legal counsel tailored to their unique needs.
