"Dedicated to the primacy, coherence and implementation of international law and principles that advance human rights....What distinguishes the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) is its impartial, objective and authoritative legal approach to the protection and promotion of human rights through the rule of law."
Set up in 1922, FIDH is a federation of 116 human rights organizations in nearly 100 countries, coordinating and supporting their activities and providing them with a voice at international level.
FIDH's mandate "is to act effectively and practically to ensure the respect of all the rights laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: the civil and political rights, but also the economic, social and cultural rights."
FIDH claims to be "linked to no party, no religion, and is independent vis-a-vis all governments." In reality, it follows a strong pro-Palestinian political agenda.
Member organizations include the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) and Al Haq.
