Raising up the struggles faced by Iranian human rights defenders and holding the Iranian government to international human rights standards is essential to building a future in which the U.S. and Iran enjoy positive relations. NIAC consistently condemns human rights violations by Iran’s government and calls for all prisoners of conscience to be released.
As an American organization, NIAC does not have a role to play in the domestic affairs of Iran. But we do have an obligation to support international human rights standards to which the U.S. and Iran are party.
NIAC’s work on human rights has included helping establish a UN Human Rights Monitor on Iran, securing targeted human rights sanctions against abusers, and lifting US sanctions on communications technology and humanitarian work inside Iran.
As a 100% independent, grassroots organization, we rely on your support to power our work for peace and justice.
NIAC is funded by the Iranian-American community and prominent American foundations, and is the proud recipient of the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. NIAC is an independent organization and does not receive funds from the United States government nor from the Iranian government.
Contributions made to NIAC are 100% tax-deductible. Contributions made to NIAC Action are not tax-deductible.
