About the NHC and IPPFoRB
The NHC is a non-governmental organisation working to ensure that human rights are respected in practice. We do this through monitoring, reporting, competence building and democracy support.
IPPFoRB is a global network of former and sitting parliamentarians, acting in their individual capacity to promote and advance freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for everyone, everywhere. IPPFoRB anchors its work in Article 18 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Our goal is to strengthen a broad coalition of FoRB-sensitive parliamentarians working in partnership with other relevant stakeholders for freedom of religion or belief on the national, regional, and international level.
To achieve this, we:
- Mobilise parliamentarians in actions and advocacy initiatives in support of freedom of religion or belief.
- Equip parliamentarians with necessary tools and resources for advocacy on freedom of religion or belief.
- Promote cooperation and partnerships that strengthen IPPFoRB’s position as a reputable actor and partner on freedom of religion or belief.
IPPFoRB is overseen by a steering group comprising former and sitting parliamentarians and is supported by an international secretariat. The secretariat is employed by the NHC and located in the NHC’s Centre for Freedom of Religion or Belief.
Salary in line with the NHC’s salary policy and upon agreement.
