Located strategically where Western and Eastern Europe meet, our headquarters provides an ideal base to coordinate our advocacy efforts around the world. From here, we direct our cases filed at the European Court of Human Rights, and engage locally with the OSCE and the Fundamental Rights Agency of the EU.
Situated in the capital of the European Union, we provide expert advice to the European Parliament, European Commission, and Council of Ministers, advocating for human rights initiatives to impact all of Europe.

We engage with law, policy, and media in the heart of the United Kingdom’s capital, with corollary effect across the entire English-speaking world. We develop relationships with allied partners to affect decisions coming out of the UK parliament and courts.
The office in Washington, DC, is positioned to effectively engage with the US government and civil society groups on global religious freedom concerns, including as key partners of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance and at the Organization of American States.
Our officially accredited status to the United Nations enables us to maintain a full-time presence at the world’s foremost international body, providing legal expertise to Member States to ensure protections for the inherent dignity of every human person. Our specific areas of focus are the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, and a variety of high-level commissions and other influential UN entities.
