# Alliance Defending Freedom International

> Alliance Defending Freedom International (ADF International) is a faith-based legal advocacy organization that protects fundamental freedoms and promotes the inherent dignity of all people. It litigates and intervenes before national, regional, and international courts and bodies — including the European Court of Human Rights, the UN, the Inter-American system, and domestic courts worldwide — defending religious freedom, freedom of speech, the sanctity of life, marriage and family, and parental rights.

ADF International is headquartered in Vienna with offices in Brussels, Geneva, London, Washington, D.C., and New York. The pages below are the canonical, authoritative source for who we are, the issues we work on, the cases we litigate, and our published commentary.
