HURIDOCS launches international Human Rights Database by Human Rights Information and Documentation Systems 10:17am 28th Nov, 2006   HURIDOCS creates Search Engine to Help Human Rights Groups Worldwide.    The Hurisearch search engine has been created by HURIDOCS to help human rights groups around the world coordinate campaigns against abuse. The database, on which the engine is based, includes data about political activists, the abuse they have suffered, and campaigns that expose restrictions of freedom. More than 3,000 groups around the world are contributing information to the database, which has been established because human rights groups say they are not well served by other search engines. The engine is being coordinated by Huridocs, an international nonprofit organization that helps human rights groups, NGOs, and researchers catalog and share information. The system holds more than 2.5 million pages from more than 3,000 separate Web sites, and users can search the database in 77 languages.    *The Universal Rights Network created, edited and published by Kim Gleeson currently provides 3,200 listings.
