MARANGOPOULOS FOUNDATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (MFHR)
SUMMARY PROFILE
ESTABLISHMENT
The Marangopoulos Foundation for Human Rights (MFHR) was founded by the
will of George N. Marangopoulos, former President of the Hellenic Council of
State. The will was drawn up as a reaction against the junta which ruled Greece
at that time, and took effect on the day of his death - 23 December 1977. The
Foundation was officially recognised as a public benefit organisation by
Presidential Decree 560/1978, and came into operation in 1978. The MFHR
received considerable financial support from Dimitrios N. Marangopoulos, a
businessman living abroad, who passed away, being widower and childless, and
bequeathed his entire estate to the Foundation (August 1978).
The Foundation has its seat in Athens and exercises an international activity. The
Foundation's official inauguration took place on 5 April 1979 and was combined
with a two-day international conference held in Athens. Those responsible for
compiling the Draft Conventions against torture, circulating at that time, took part
in this conference, in the presence of representatives of the United Nations, the
Council of Europe and the Government.

AIMS AND MEANS
AIMS
The basic aims of the MFHR are: research, study, defence, protection, and
safeguarding from violations, promotion and dissemination of internationally
recognised Human Rights for all, without any discrimination.
MEANS
In order to achieve these aims, the MFHR employs various means. It is
understood that, on serious and internationally disputed issues, the Foundation
employs a combination of different means to defend and to promote the growing
role of human rights. The most important of these are the following:
I. Education in Human Rights
The MFHR attaches particular importance to the teaching of Human Rights (HR)
to all age groups - to each by a different method - especially to children at a very
early age. This is because, in our opinion, respect for HR in practice is above all
an attitude of life to which one becomes accustomed.
It is for this reason that, the MFHR has translated into Greek and distributed
appropriately the principal educational books of international organisations on
Human Rights education.
More specifically:
1. United Nations: About the United Nations ... Learning about Human Rights,
an educational handbook published by the UN Department of Public Information,
1992.
2
2. Council of Europe: (a) the Greek version of the publication and video
cassette entitled Stand Up NOW for Human Rights!, 1997; (b) brochure on the
European Social Charter, Securing Social Rights Across Europe, 1999.
3. UNESCO: Democracy: 80 Questions and Answers, by Professors David
Beetham and Kevin Boyle, 1996.
II.
Conferences,
seminars,
one-day
conferences,
colloquies,
book
presentations, etc.
II-1. Another means very widely employed by the MFHR for the dissemination of
information on Human Rights is the holding of seminars, lectures, and
conferences on special and topical problems - national or international - which
have the effect of abolishing, prejudicing, or shrinking the substantive
implementation of Human Rights.
The MFHR has particularly concerned itself with the most vulnerable categories
in society (women, children, refugees, migrants, the poor, those detained in
institutions of every kind).
The MFHR began this type of activity, as has already been stated, at the official
inauguration of its operation in April 1979, when three draft conventions against
torture were comparatively presented. These later made their way into the
Convention against Torture (CAT) of the United Nations and the Convention for
the Prevention of Torture (CPT) of the Council of Europe, with their respective
committees.
The subjects we have chosen for our events (more than 140 held so far) have
always been burning Human Rights issues.
The venue for the holding of our various events has usually been Greece,
particularly Athens, but we have also held, or, rather, jointly held abroad
3
important events with foreign Universities. Some of these events are the
following:
a) We began by providing financial and academic support to the three-day
celebration programme of Georgetown University for its two-hundredth
anniversary. This took place in Washington DC, under the general theme:
'International Human Rights and US Foreign Policy', on 8 - 10 December 1988.
b) Organising jointly with the Washington College of Law of the American
University, in collaboration with the International Human Rights Law Group and
the 'Watch' Committees, an international conference on: 'The protection of
Human Rights in periods of transition to a democratic regime in Europe and Latin
America', Washington DC, 1992.
c) Organising jointly with Yale University (Law and Medicine Faculty) an
international conference on: 'Organ transplantation and Human Rights', New
Haven, 1993.
d) Organising jointly with the European Centre for Human Rights and Democracy
(University of Graz) and the Vienna Diplomatic Academy an international
conference on: 'Anti-terrorist measures and Human Rights', Vienna, 2002 (see
also the special publication Anti-Terrorist Measures and Human Rights, editor: A.
Yotopoulos-Marangopoulos (MFHR), W. Benedek (European Training and
Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, Austria), Publ. Martinus
Nijhoff, Leiden 2004, 378 pp. (in English).
e) One-day conference, organised jointly with the Minister of Justice and
President of the National Mechanism for Women's Rights of the Republic of
Cyprus, on the introduction into the Constitution of Cyprus of a provision
corresponding to the new Article 116, para. 2 of the Greek Constitution (as
revised in 2001), which established - on the initiative of the MFHR - substantive
4
gender equality and the use of positive measures for that purpose, (Nicosia, 5
March 2002).
f) Organising jointly with the Centre de recherche sur les droits de l' homme et le
droit humanitaire of the Panthéon-Assas (Paris II) University an international
conference on: 'La pauvreté, un défi pour les droits de l' homme', Paris, 2008
(see also the relevant publication in our series: La pauvreté, un défi pour les
droits de l' homme, editors: E. Decaux, A. Yotopoulos-Marangopoulos, MFHR
series No. 14, publ. A. Pedone, Paris 2009, 281 pp. (in French)).
II-2. We list below some of the topical issues which we have dealt with at our
events during the last years.
Rendering gender equality substantive in practice
at an international and
national level; the prevalence of internationally recognised Human Rights
principles and rules over traditions and practices of various countries conflicting
with these rules; the migration issue; the substantive implementation of
international conventions on the protection of refugees; rendering
the
implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its additional
protocols substantive in practice; the problems of all types of detainees; the
implementation of the Convention against Torture (CAT, UN) and of the
Convention for the Prevention of Torture (CPT, Council of Europe) for the
combating of torture, together with efforts to introduce in the CAT the system of
visits to places of detention, that is successfully provided for by the CPT; the
constant spread of transnational organised crime and the - parallel to this increasing internationalisation of measures against it; the necessity of
observance of para. 5 of Chapter I and paras. 38 and 49 of Chapter II of the
Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action (1993), without exceptions (for
example, the ban on the wearing of burqa and niqab, the female genital
circumcision carried out on young girls); the necessity for the Greek Government
to declare immediately its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), introduced by the
5
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982), in order to protect the
country’s hydrocarbon resources, particularly in the Aegean and in the Eastern
Mediterranean.
II-3. At the turn of the millennium, we concerned ourselves particularly with the
implementation of the UN Millennium Declaration, its improvement, and, above
all, its application in practice.
The increase in violence and aggressiveness among students in schools has
caused us particular concern. Furthermore, another cause of concern has been
the danger from the use of nuclear energy in war and peace, the enormous
prevalence of the exploitation of children and women by the use of new methods
on an international scale.
III. Publication of a series of books
On all the above subjects, we have produced a series of publications which are
listed in the annexed catalogue of the 73 books so far published by the MFHR in
Athens and in Paris (where we also maintain our own series with the Pedone
publishers, rue Soufflot 13).
IV. Library open to the public
The MFHR has a constantly updated library, specialising in Human Rights issues
- one of the most important Human Rights libraries in Europe - which is open to
the public.
V. Prizes and scholarships
In order to reinforce the interest of young graduates in Human Rights, the MFHR
awards annual prizes to postgraduate students of Greek and Cypriot universities
who submit the best studies on three specific subjects each year. In particular it
grants scholarships at the International Human Rights Institute in Strasbourg, at
6
which the MFHR maintains its own chair. The MFHR also grants scholarships to
doctoral candidates whose academic work is worth supporting.
VI. Free legal aid
The Foundation also provides a legal assistance bureau which helps individuals,
without discrimination as to race, religion, gender, language, ethnic or social
origin, whose fundamental human rights are being infringed and do not have the
financial resources to engage a lawyer.
VII. Critiques and proposals on legislative and administrative measures
The MFHR submits critiques of laws and administrative measures, or drafts. It
also submits its own proposals for measures regulating matters which touch on
Human Rights, such as, for example, the draft of the new Article 116, para. 2 of
the Greek Constitution. The above article introduced substantive gender equality
and positive measures in order to achieve it, and was broached and proposed by
the MFHR with the approval of all the women's organisations, resulting in a
unanimous vote in 2001 by the Constitutional Revision Parliament.
VIII. Consultative status with international organisations
The MFHR also submits statements containing proposals for measures and
critiques
of
draft
international
decisions
to
the
following
international
organisations with which it holds a consultative status.
1. With the UN:
a) special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the
UN (ECOSOC), and, naturally, with the bodies under its auspices, such as the
Human Rights Council in Geneva;
b) it has a 'special relation’ status with the United Nations Department of
Public Information in New York.
2. With UNESCO: it maintains 'official relations'.
7
3. With the Council of Europe: International NGO with participatory status.
Within this framework, the Foundation has been granted the right to lodge
collective complaints with the Committee of the European Social Charter
concerning violations of its provisions (a right already successfully exercised by
the MFHR in practice).
IX. The MFHR in the National Commission for Human Rights of the Greek
Republic
The MFHR serves as a founder member at the National Commission for Human
Rights in Greece. Its representative A. Yotopoulos-Marangopoulos was its first
President (June 2000 - October 2006, when she resigned). Subsequently, the
MFHR's representative Linos-Alexandros Sicilianos was its Vice-President from
November 2006 to 2011, when he resigned, as he had been appointed a judge at
the European Court of Human Rights.
Today, MFHR’s regular representative is Mr. D. Gourgourakis, honorary VicePresident of the Supreme Court (Areios Pagos), Vice-President of the Supreme
Court (Areios Pagos), former President of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.
MFHR’s GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Harmonisation of social policies with internationally recognised Human
Rights principles and rules
For several years now, efforts have been made to disseminate what - in our
opinion - is a fundamental principle: that any policy which involves dealing with
and regulating a social problem must be based on the principles and rules of
internationally recognised Human Rights. Otherwise, any social policy which is
contrary to Human Rights or supports national traditions and practices which
8
conflict with internationally recognised Human Rights - which are global,
indivisible and interdependent - is destined to fail. It also causes breaches in the
most important and noblest achievement of humanity: the indivisible and global
edifice of Human Rights rules and principles.
By way of example, we would mention the following books, inspired by this
guiding principle:
1. Droits de l' homme et politique anticriminelle, ed. A. YotopoulosMarangopoulos, Publ. Ant. N. Sakkoulas / Bruylant, Athens-Komotini / Brussels
2007, 267 pp. (in French and English), esp. pp. 13 - 21, 173 - 190, 277 - 8.
2. La pauvreté, un défi pour les droits de l' homme, eds: E. Decaux, A.
Yotopoulos-Marangopoulos, MFHR series No. 14, publ. A. Pedone, Paris 2009,
281 pp. (in French), esp. pp. 15 - 24, 255, and 277 - 8.
3.

and
Aggressiveness in
Schools, National

particuliers', in Annales Internationales de Criminologie, 2004, No. 42, 1 / 2,
pp. 7 - 20).
