Descrizione:
The International League for Human Rights (ILHR) is an independent nonprofit organization with activities dating back to 1914. The League’s work is based upon the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948, the European Convention for Human Rights from 1950 and the International Covenant on Civic and Political Rights from 1966. The ILHR advocates the conservation and further development of civic and human rights in Germany, in Europe and worldwide and opposes any and all constraints or redemption of constitutional principles or civic liberties. Since 1962, the ILHR awards the annual Carl von Ossietzky Medal in the area of civil honor in realizing, defending and further development of human rights and peace. Since 2012 the award has been presented biannually. The ILHR has initiated and jointly carried out numerous projects in the field of human rights policy, drawing upon the League’s strong network, both at the national and international scale.
