IHRN
The International Human Rights Network of Academies and Scholarly Societies (IHRN) is an international consortium of honorary societies in the sciences, engineering, and medicine with a shared interest in human rights. It was founded in 1993 by prominent Dutch human rights lawyer Pieter van Dijk and Nobel Laureates François Jacob (France), Torsten Wiesel (Sweden/United States), and Max Perutz (United Kingdom), to alert national academies to human rights abuses involving fellow scientists and scholars and to equip academies with the tools to provide support in such cases.
Today the IHRN advocates in support of professional colleagues suffering human rights abuses, promotes the free exchange of ideas and opinions among scientists and scholars, and supports the independence and autonomy of national academies and scholarly societies worldwide. The IHRN also raises global awareness of the connections between human rights and science, engineering, and medicine.
Although there is no formal membership, more than 90 academies have participated in IHRN activities.
