About the OHCHR

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is the leading UN entity responsible for promoting and protecting human rights worldwide. Established in 1993 following the Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, OHCHR works to ensure that universal human rights are upheld for all people, everywhere, without discrimination.

OHCHR supports governments, civil society, national human rights institutions, and other UN bodies in translating international human rights standards into laws, policies, and concrete action. Its work covers a wide range of issues, including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights, with a strong focus on equality, accountability, and the protection of vulnerable and marginalized groups.

Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, OHCHR operates through a global network of regional offices, country offices, and field presences. This allows the organization to respond to human rights challenges on the ground, monitor situations, provide technical assistance, and support fact-finding, investigations, and reporting mechanisms.
