OHCHR

June 25, 2020

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is the principal United Nations human rights entity. The General Assembly gives the High Commissioner and her Office a single mandate to promote and protect all human rights. The United Nations Human Rights Programme aims to ensure that the protection and enjoyment of human rights are a reality for all. OHCHR also plays a crucial role in safeguarding the integrity of the three interconnected pillars of the United Nations: peace and security, human rights, and development.
