Wartime civic body· Conflict era
North-East Secretariat on Human Rights (NESoHR)
Operated 2004–2009 across the merged North-Eastern Province, NESoHR produced the most extensive contemporaneous human-rights documentation of the final phase of the war from within the conflict zone.
NESoHR is named here because its archive — partially preserved by ITJP and UTHR(J) — is the primary in-zone human-rights record of 2004–2009. Its successor work is now carried by ITJP, PEARL and Adayaalam. The body itself no longer operates.
§1Archive status
NESoHR's reports on shelling of hospitals, the no-fire zones and disappearances were submitted as contemporaneous evidence to multiple UN processes, including the Darusman Panel (2011). The OHCHR OISL (2015) drew on NESoHR documentation alongside government, military, journalistic and survivor sources.
