The IBA’s response to the war in Ukraine
Notes to the Editor
- The High Level Panel of Legal Experts on Media Freedom is an independent body convened by Lord Neuberger, its Chair, in July 2019, at the request of the United Kingdom and Canadian governments, to advise the 47-strong Media Freedom Coalition of states on ways to prevent and reverse abuses of media freedom, as well as ensuring existing international obligations relating to the freedom of expression are upheld.
The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute acts as the Secretariat to the High Level Panel. Established in 1995 under Founding Honorary President Nelson Mandela, IBAHRI is an autonomous and financially independent entity, working to promote, protect and enforce human rights under a just rule of law, and to preserve the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession worldwide.

The International Bar Association (IBA), the global voice of the legal profession, is the foremost organisation for international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies. Established in 1947, shortly after the creation of the United Nations, it was born out of the conviction that an organisation made up of the world's bar associations could contribute to global stability and peace through the administration of justice.
