Our Struggle
International Association for Human Rights Advocacy in Geneva (IAHRA GENEVA) is a non-profit organization, governed by its statutes, according to articles 60 and following of the Swiss Civil Code.
It has an objective to disseminate, promote and defend human rights, development and peace, in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, both within the relevant United Nations system and at the local, national and international levels.
The organization assists, supports, guides and sustains victims of human rights violations.
One of the main concerns of its interest is the violations of human rights in Turkey.
How We Work
RIGHTS FOR ALL, ALL FOR RIGHTS
IAHRA Geneva mainly operates within the relevant UN mechanisms and works to report human rights violations and crimes against humanity. We deploy human rights law and soft diplomacy to achieve safety and security for individuals. Our organization was founded by volunteers and people who cannot stay indifferent to the human rights violations and crimes against humanity.
IAHRAG in the News
With our work, we strive to prevent human rights violations and pave the way to punish those who have committed these crimes. This work does not go unrecognized by the media.
