The main objective of Pravo Ljudski is to promote a forum for debate on human rights, democracy and rule of law, equality, and human development. It also aims to disclose the human rights abuses, inequality, violence against women and children, social marginalization and exclusion and inspire solidarity, mutual understanding and the importance of personal devotion to human rights through creating effective contact with the victims of the human rights abuses.
