  • Montreal-based NGO, the ICHRDD was founded by an Act of the Canadian Parliament, and annually receives over C$4 million from the Canadian government. It presents itself, however, as an independent and non-partisan organization.
  • The official objectives of the Centre are to initiate, encourage and support cooperation between Canada and other countries in the promotion, development and strengthening of democratic and human rights institutions and programs that give effect to the rights and freedoms enshrined in the International Bill of Human Rights.
  • ICHRDD's campaign to promote "democratic institutions in developing areas" has been used to justify a strongly pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel political agenda. The organization has approved funding grants for a number of projects conducted by very politicized recipients, including the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group and the International Women's House in Hares.
