Happy Human Rights Day from INHR!
As the world prepares to mark the 75th anniversary since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2023, INHR's team shares favourite articles from the Declaration and why they are special to us.
As the world faces new and ongoing challenges, the values and rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provide guideposts for our collective actions to not leave anyone behind.
INHR is committed to continue advocating the promotion of human rights for all.
INHR Profile : Hans Hogrefe

The Brussels branch will develop closer and more continuous partnerships with the European Union institutions on issues in the purview of our areas of work, including human rights, humanitarian affairs and the environment. It will also work with other partners based in Brussels to increase policy dialogue and build strategic partnerships that fulfill the organization’s goals.
Our Lines of Effort
Leveling the UN Playing Field for You
INHR is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to improving access to the United Nations and enhancing the effectiveness of small and mid-sized states and NGOs. We offer strategic advice, training, research, and capacity-building to maximize the impact of your interaction with UN agencies in Geneva, New York and beyond. With COVID-19 limiting travel, we can be there for you in most of the UN's major hubs. Training for new HRC members and our free virtual intern program for SIDS/LDCs are just a phone call away.
Linking International Standards with Field Solutions
Our team of diplomats, lawyers and policy experts provide information and programs that help to make international standards more meaningful by showing how they are implemented in practice. We value improvement of international standards and work to show the meaning of these standards beyond the walls of the United Nations. Our recent study on COVID-19 and human rights is one example. This work also leads us to help implement programs on human rights and development in areas such as atrocity prevention, health and human rights, and humanitarian affairs.
Enhancing Civil Society Effectiveness
NGOs, business and trade groups, and civil society organizations use our representation services to advocate effectively before UN bodies on human rights, health and other issues. We have helped companies understand health impliciations of UN resolutions, shown lawyers how to advocate for accountability, and helped NGOs fund environmentally sustainable supply chains. Our training programs include advocacy, public speaking, donor relations, and specialized training for individual UN agencies, funds and programs. As part of our commitment to a level playing field, we work with civil society organizations from all countries but only represent delegations from small and medium-sized countries.
