About us
An NGO working to protect and promote human rights in India and around the world.
The International Human Rights Protection Commission (IHRPC) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to protect and promote human rights in India and around the world. It was founded in 2021 by a group of lawyers, social activists, retired officers, and academics who were concerned about the increasing violations of human rights in India and internationally.
The IHRPC works to protect human rights through a variety of means, including:
IHRPC has been involved in high-profile cases and has played a significant role in raising awareness of issues such as child labour, bonded labour, and sexual violence.
The UNHRC is a key intergovernmental body within the United Nations, responsible for promoting and protecting human rights globally. Established in 2006, it addresses violations, responds to crises, and through the Universal Periodic Review evaluates the human rights records of all UN member states.
The NHRC is a statutory body established to protect and promote human rights within a country — investigating violations, recommending reforms, and raising awareness. It does not have judicial powers; it recommends corrective measures rather than enforcing them.
