International Refugee Rights Initiative

International Refugee Rights Initiative (IRRI) is a non-profit organization based in New York, New York. Founded in 2004, IRRI is a small organization with 10 employees. IRRI focuses on protecting human rights before, during, and after displacement. They achieve this by identifying the violations that cause displacement, protecting the rights of displaced individuals, and ensuring solutions are durable, rights-respecting, safe, and timely. Their work involves evidence-based advocacy built on field-based research and analysis, aiming to ensure the voices of displaced and conflict-affected communities are heard at the international level. IRRI takes a context-specific approach to displacement, recognizing the multifaceted causes and consequences. Their comprehensive model considers commonalities in how governments and multilateral organizations address displacement, allowing them to formulate nuanced and effective strategies.
