Welcome to the Edmund Rice International (ERI) website. Edmund Rice
International works at the international level to promote and
protect the rights of the child, the right to education and to
engage in ecological advocacy through the promotion of ecological
sustainability. Inspired by the vision and life of Blessed Edmund
Rice, we believe that education in all its forms offers
opportunities for the promotion of a rights-based and faith-based
approaches to social justice and ecological advocacy
We work in partnership with other faith-based groups, particularly
Franciscans International, in the promotion of peace and justice.
We engage with the United Nations through the Human Rights Council
in Geneva, the UN Treaty Bodies in New York and through other UN
agencies in seeking shared solutions to the issues affecting the
lives of the most vulnerable people on our planet.
We are committed to bringing about God's dream for the world and
for humanity. God's dream is also ours.
