WHO WE ARE

A Legacy of Service.
A New Generation of Leadership.

ICOHR, the International Commission on Human Rights, is an international human rights and humanitarian organization grounded in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan.

For more than twenty years, ICOHR's founding leadership built a record of institutional credibility few organizations of its kind in Pakistan can claim: direct correspondence and recognition from the United Nations, heads of state and government across five continents, and hands-on advocacy work that produced real change for vulnerable communities.

Today, a new generation joins that mission, carrying it forward with the same principles and a renewed sense of practical, present-day purpose.
