Mission and Objectives

WUS Germany prefers to be seen as an action-oriented organisation, assisting the victims of social injustice and oppression to find solutions to the causes of their situation by themselves, rather than to be understood as a classical relief organisation. It faciliates international contacts and co-operation of and between academics and students. It aims at supporting programmes with respect to issues concerning education, asylum as well as human rights. Priority in its policies and schemes was also given to the combat against social, cultural, political and economic discrimination in the framework of the United Nations Decade for human rights education.
