The International League for Human Rights was founded in New York City in 1942 as the International League for the Rights of Man, a non-governmental agency to promote human rights worldwide. The League takes as its platform the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in 1948. The League sponsors studies and programs on human rights, conducts direct interventions with governments concerning rights violations, lodges protests with international agencies, conducts investigative missions, sends observers to political trials, and aids individual victims of human rights violations.
