About PHR

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) mobilizes health professionals to advance the health and dignity of all people through action that promotes respect for, protection of, and fulfillment of human rights. As one of the original coordinating committee members of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, PHR shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. 

PHR is a membership organization that applies the specialized skills, knowledge and ethical commitments of health professionals to a range of issues including supporting a comprehensive prevention, treatment and care strategy for global HIV/AIDS; ending the United States' role in torture and complicity of physicians in those abuses; preventing genocide; promoting women's health and rights; protecting the health and human rights of youth in the US justice system; and protecting asylum seekers in the United States. 

PHR investigates and reports on human rights abuses, provides evidence in support of justice and accountability, and promotes health systems that advance well-being and dignity. PHR's research, forensic and advocacy programs are internationally recognized, and have contributed to investigations in Sierra Leone, genocide convictions in Rwanda and Bosnia, increased government funding for global health, and to the recent US Supreme Court decision ending the death penalty for juveniles.
