The Helsinki International Human Rights Federation (IHF) is a non-profit, non-profit organization that protected human rights in Europe , North America and Central Asia . The organization’s special mission is to monitor the observance of human rights in accordance with the Helsinki Final Act and the documents that supplement it.
The Secretariat of the organization, located in Vienna , provided communication between its members (the Helsinki Committees and human rights associations) and represented them at the international political level. The IHF also maintained direct contacts with people and organizations that protect human rights in countries where the Helsinki Committees operate. The IHF also collected and analyzed information on the state of human rights observance in the OSCE participating States and distributed it among government representatives, intergovernmental organizations, the media and the general public.
On November 27, 2007, the IHF President Ulrich Fischer submitted to the Economic Court in Vienna a request to declare this human rights organization bankrupt .
