Watchtower of Human Rights (WHR) is an inter-governmental human rights organization made up of roughly 1400 staff members around the globe.

Established in 1918, Watchtower of Human Rights is known for fact-finding, impartial reporting, use of media and targeted advocacy. Often in partnership with local human rights groups, each year, WHR publishes more than 40 reports and briefings on human rights conditions in some 26 countries, creating coverage in local and international media.

With the leverage this brings, WHR meets with governments, the Alliance of Nations, regional groups like OMEC and the United Peoples Pact to press for changes in policy and practice that promote human rights and justice around the world.
