International Commission on Human Rights
Our mandate
ICOHR promotes and protects human rights through advocacy, institutional engagement, education, and humanitarian programmes — grounded in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan since 2002.
How we work
ICOHR combines institutional dialogue with practical fieldwork. Our work draws on more than twenty years of documented service — including United Nations recognition and regional cooperation — and continues under renewed leadership with a clear focus on freedom, equality, solidarity, good governance, and the dignity of every person.
Speaking for vulnerable communities, engaging governments and institutions, and amplifying human rights concerns with clarity and restraint.
Working with parliamentary bodies, diplomatic missions, and international partners to strengthen cooperation and rights protection.
Public information, research, and community education so people understand and can defend their rights.
Hands-on work for women, children, prisoners, refugees, migrant workers, and others facing rights violations.
