The Tom Lantos Institute (TLI) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization, that was established in Hungary in May of 2011 to honor and continue the legacy of Tom Lantos, a great Hungarian-American and the only Holocaust survivor ever elected to the United States Congress. He was the Co-Founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus and rose to become the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. TLI is primarily a research institute and think-tank organization, but carries out empowerment and action-like projects as well, with a particular focus on Central-Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans. Besides, it implements actual projects in a wider geographical area as needs arise in order to advance democratization processes and to strengthen the enjoyment of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms.
