Fully independent of government and fearless in its advocacy for human rights, ICCL has a long and successful track record in defending human rights and civil liberties and has been at the forefront of all the key human rights debates in Irish society over almost five decades.

In all its work, ICCL is passionate in its determination to bring about a fairer and more equal Ireland, where all rights are guaranteed without exception and where the State and other powerful interests are held to account.
