OUR VISION
RUSU envisions a world in which refugee rights are recognized as human rights and those fleeing persecution, wars, and tyrannical regimes can choose to have their stories archived.
In such a world, refugees are free to use their voice without repercussions, their human rights and fundamental freedoms are upheld and those who commit human rights violations are held accountable.
In such a world, humanity exists.
