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 and New York and bilateral presence in Brussels and Washington. We are training experts - supporting diplomatic skills for governments and advising on effective use of Artificial Intelligence in the military. Our free student legal advisor program for SIDS/LDCs and training for new HRC members are just a phone call away.
Our team of diplomats, lawyers and policy experts provide information and programs that make international standards more meaningful by showing how they are implemented in practice beyond the walls of the United Nations. Understand what it means for the UN to regulate AI in your country; for implementation of international standards of atrocity prevention, health, and humanitarian affairs; and how to find solutions through dialogue and mediation from China and Myanmar to the United States and Africa.
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 implications 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. We also offer new training in Responsible AI in the military and risk mitigation. 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.
