Due to the existence of accumulations of violations of human dignity, and the lack of application of international and humanitarian standards with most members of society by previous governments before 2003, and the absence of relevant institutions, especially non-governmental organizations that are independent of the effective partisan political authorities in Iraq and lack of systematic work to spread the concepts of human rights and democracy and building peace among the community, NIHR was established by a group of activists in the field of human rights to bridge the gap between the severe need for the application of human rights standards, democracy and peace building and between members of society, especially during the transitional period since the fall of the previous regime in 2003 and the establishment of a civil democratic state. Its establishment was officially announced in 2005 after it was registered in the relevant government institutions under the number 1Z38615 to be one of the non-governmental organizations operating in Iraq. It is non-profitable and independent of any political, partisan or religious authority. Targeting following groups (children, youth and women), especially those most affected and the vulnerable, marginalized and people with special needs, through design, present and implement possible programs and projects after organizing various partnerships aimed at achieving their goals to achieve the dignity of members of society without discrimination on the basis of religion, language, or nationality
