The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) leads global human rights work across the United Nations and is mandated by the UN to promote and protect the human rights of all people. This is accomplished by providing technical assistance as human rights standards are implemented on the ground, assisting governments as they fulfill their responsibility to protect human rights, and speaking out against human rights violations.
