The Nijmegen Principles and Guidelines on Interim Measures for the Protection of Human Rights (NPGIM) have been drafted by a cross-regional group of scholars and (legal) practitioners from different countries who joined forces to discuss common principles underlying the practices of various adjudicators to take urgent decisions aimed at preventing violations. They comprise both legal obligations of States in the context of urgent human rights adjudication and guidelines on good practices based on our research findings involving the UN and the three regional human rights treaty systems.

The Nijmegen Principles and Guidelines were adopted by a group of experts after a conference on Urgency and Human Rights organized by the Radboud University Nijmegen in May 2015.
