The organization has six strategic areas of activity:
documentation/research - The Committee has an extensive collection of reports, press clippings and other relevant publications, serving as a resource center for its own staff, national and international scholars and other researchers
transitional justice - "Facing the past/truth", the organization's most important program. The Committee works to achieve the normalization of Serbian society and supports the efforts of Serbian civil society to overcome the legacy of the period that ended in the Bulldozer Revolution in 2000. It seeks to raise awareness of the causes and consequences of the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia and advocates accountability for war crimes committed in Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia itself, including official accountability. It contributes to the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. It also publishes the Helsinki Charter magazine and other publications and promotes and contributes to public debate.
Serbia's "Europeanization" - The Committee is an advocate for the adoption of standards of accountability in public life, particularly parliamentary activity. It works to promote parliamentary transparency and accountability through public debate and work with individual parliamentarians, particularly women and representatives of multi-ethnic communities and minority communities. It also works to reinforce the transparency and accountability of public institutions, elected officials and public servants and the legal system.
educational outreach - The Committee works with young people from across Serbia to challenge the influence of propaganda, distorted public values and a politicised educational system, seeking to encourage teenagers, young adults and young professionals to think critically about Serbia's past and present, with a view to encouraging their emergence as community leaders and policymakers.
culture of human rights - the "Human rights culture" program is focused on the implementation of major international and European conventions and instruments for the protection of fundamental human rights, in particular the rights of persons deprived of their liberty and members of socially marginalized/vulnerable groups, and on safeguarding the position of ethnic minorities and defending the multi-ethnic and multicultural fabric of society.
crisis resolution/conflict prevention" - The Committee works to resolve inter-communal tensions between Serbs and Albanians, including the anxieties of the isolated Kosovo Serbs and the tensions in Serbia's multi-ethnic regions such as Sandzak and South Serbia burdened by a legacy of human rights violations, war crimes, persecution, ethnically motivated violence, state repression, etc., and prone to political manipulation. It brings together people from antagonistic ethnic communities to examine prospects for coexistence and supports efforts at integration with the wider community.
