Mission Statement
Standing for Religious Liberties for All

We believe that religious liberties are the foundation of human rights for any civilized society. Governments, however, have not always respected this most foundational right. Therefore, the International Human Rights Group was created to help monitor and protect religious liberties throughout the world.

We have established a network of dedicated attorneys and leaders in the US, Europe, Asia, and other parts of the globe who are focused on protecting religious liberties. Through the proper balance of negotiation and litigation, we ensure that the guarantees of the United Nations Convention on Human Rights are enjoyed by all citizens of the planet.

We are uniquely positioned to accomplish this mission because of our experience in protecting religious liberties; including extensive work in the United States and Europe with leading attorneys and other leaders. The International Human Rights Group is committed to humbly serving a variety of religious organizations and churches with integrity.
