The International Ombudsman Institute (IOI) is a global organization connecting public service ombudsmen and their offices. It promotes an independent, inclusive and open approach to public administration, with a focus on protecting human rights and upholding the rule of law. Through its international network, the IOI brings together members across regions and supports the exchange of information and perspectives on issues affecting ombudsman institutions and the people they serve.

The organization’s website provides updates on member activities, regional developments and current topics, including the role of ombudsmen in the digital era, artificial intelligence and the protection of children’s rights. Visitors can explore news, publications and video content, as well as access a case database and information about partners. The site also provides links to member and regional resources, contact details and information about the organization. By sharing institutional news and resources, the IOI helps make the work of public service ombudsmen visible and encourages global connection around accountable, rights-focused governance.
