Since its creation in 1986, France Libertés actively promotes human rights. This historical commitment has focused on promoting the right of peoples to self-determination when confronted with oppression by authoritarian regimes. This mobilization with concerned populations increasingly resulted in supporting their struggle to have control over their natural resources, against their lands’ spoliation or to preserve their traditional knowledge. About fifteen years ago, this dialogue with oppressed populations led them to concentrate on the right to water for all as their main line of work.
