The organisation was set up in 1969 by a group of activists and academics in order "to protect the rights of minorities to co-exist with majorities, by objective study and consistent international public exposure of violations of fundamental rights as defined by the UN Charter".[1]
Its first director was David Astor, editor and proprietor of The Observer newspaper at the time.
