International Observatory of
Human Rights (IOHR)
The International Observatory of Human Rights
(IOHR) is an independent NGO based in London
dedicated to putting the focus on human rights
worldwide through a unique human rights TV channel.
With a team made up of TV producers, researchers
and award-winning journalists, IOHR utilises its
unique access and expertise to champion several
advocacy programmes and expose and investigate
human rights violations. Their independence and
international reach give them leverage to work
with global movements to defend the dignity of
people stripped of their rights including oppressed
communities, unjustly jailed journalists, human rights
defenders, refugees and victims of oppression.
IOHR acted as the official media sponsor of
the Conference, filming and broadcasting the
conference, live streaming sessions and carrying out
interviews with delegates.
We are thrilled to have collaborated with IOHR
and are looking forward to continued partnership
post-Conference.
