Finances
As a national human rights institution of the UN, the VHR must receive sufficient state funding from the country in order to fulfill its mandate. The 2024 national contribution to the association amounted to CHF 410,000. The OHR is free to use the funds within the legal framework. Not all activities can be covered by the state contribution. The association relies on contributions from third parties for pilot projects or project studies.
