Governance & leadership

Global Leadership Team

ICOHR is establishing a clear distinction between its Honorary and Advisory structure and its professional Executive Management structure. Key positions are being filled as part of the structured revival.

Leadership profile

Chairman Aslam Ellahi

Founding Chairman of ICOHR. Direct signatory to the United Nations, head of state, and head of government correspondence documented in this profile. Leadership has continued, uninterrupted, from ICOHR's founding to its present structured revival.

The present global situation with insurmountable problems is rapidly changing and precariously turning towards the worst. The world is confronted with the menace of poverty, hunger, terrorism, sufferings from war atrocities, natural disaster, genocide, armed conflicts and gross human rights violations posing a threat to peace and stability around the globe.

We, at ICOHR, are committed to achieving the goals set forth in the UN Charter to strive for the progress of human civilization. We reaffirm our sincere commitment to ensure freedom, equality, solidarity, poverty eradication, democracy, good governance and the right to self determination.
