The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights in Asia. With its roots dating back to 1984, AHRC was initiated after the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA) as a platform to address human rights issues across the region. AHRC's work is driven by the lessons learned from the challenges faced by human rights movements in Asia.

Through extensive consultations with various organizations in the region, AHRC aims to introduce an Asian Charter for Human Rights. This charter seeks to reaffirm the principles outlined in the UN Declaration on Human Rights while taking into account the local context and identifying obstacles to its implementation. To achieve its mission, AHRC engages in a range of activities including urgent appeals, press releases, and hunger alerts to bring attention to human rights abuses.

They also provide resources, opinions, and important news updates on human rights issues in Asia. By supporting AHRC through donations, internships, volunteering, and translating services, individuals can actively contribute to the promotion and protection of human rights in Asia.
