The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) composed of 188 national human rights organisations from 116 countries. FIDH is a nonpartisan, non-sectarian, apolitical, and not-for-profit organisation. Since 1922, FIDH has been defending all human rights – civil, political, economic, social, and cultural – as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. FIDH’s International Secretariat is composed of around 70 employees with a multi-disciplinary background, based either in FIDH’s headquarters in Paris, France, or in one of its offices or representations across five continents.

One of FIDH strategic priorities is to fight against the impunity of perpetrators of serious human rights violations, in particular atrocity crimes, and restore victims’ rights and support their access to truth, justice, and reparations. In close collaboration with its member and partner organisations, FIDH documents and reports these serious human rights violations, advocates for change before relevant decision-makers, litigates in support of victims and survivors of these crimes at national, regional, and international levels, facilitates the exchange of experiences and strengthening of expertise and capacity of its members and partners, and pushes for strong, effective, and meaningful accountability mechanisms.

The FIDH office in The Hague, the Netherlands, was opened in 2004, as part of the organisation’s International Justice Desk (IJD), to follow and contribute to the work of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The office is currently composed of a Representative to the ICC and a part-time Administrative & Finance Assistant. The office also regularly benefits from the support of an intern. Members of the IJD in The Hague are working under the supervision of the Head of the IJD based in Paris, France. They also benefit from the regular support of a Programme Officer, also based in Paris.
