Islamic Human Rights Commission

The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is a non-profit organisation based in London. Its stated mission is to "champion the rights & duties revealed for human beings" and to "promote a new social [and] international order, based on truth, justice, righteousness [and] generosity, rather than selfish interest." The group was established in 1997. The organisation, since 2007, has held consultative status with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

The organisation has been accused of ties with the government of Iran and spreading Islamic extremism in the United Kingdom. In the British government’s independent 2023 review of its Prevent counter-extremism programme, directed by William Shawcross, the final report described the organisation as "an Islamist group ideologically aligned with the Iranian regime, that has a history of ‘extremist links and terrorist sympathies’ ". Amnesty International’s Racial Justice Director Ilyas Nagdee, a UK-based Muslim activist and author, described Shawcross’ review as “riddled with biased thinking, errors and plain anti-Muslim prejudice” and “has no legitimacy”, though he did not object to any specific claims made. He accused the Prevent counter-extremism programme of unfairly targeting British Muslims, a claim which has been contested by policy experts.

The IHRC organises yearly Quds Day rallies, a tradition which began in Iran in 1979 shortly after the Iranian Revolution. Prior to 2019, the marches commonly included the display of Hezbollah flags, a group proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom in 2019.
