 Welcome
to IAOHRA
As President of the International Association of Official Human
Rights Agencies (IAOHRA), I take great pride in welcoming you to our website.
IAOHRA was founded in 1949 in New York.
The International Association of Official Human Rights Agencies is a
non-profit membership organization with its headquarters in
Washington, D.C. The primary members are statutory human rights and
human relations agencies with authority for enforcing a variety of
human and civil rights laws in their respective jurisdictions.
IAOHRA provides opportunities and forums for the exchange of ideas
and information among member agencies and other human rights
advocates. It provides assistance in the development of programs for
eliminating illegal discrimination in employment, housing,
education, public accommodations, public services and commercial
transactions, including banking and lending practices. It also is
responsible for developing educational programs on human rights and
civil rights issues, and serves as a clearinghouse for information
exchange between human rights agencies around the world.
