The International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief (IPPFoRB) is a global network of current and former parliamentarians, acting in their individual capacity to promote and advance freedom of religion or belief for everyone, everywhere.

We anchor our work in Article 18 of the UN Universal Declaration for Human Rights and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The IPPFoRB is centred around the Oslo Charter. All parliamentarians participating in the network must agree to the Charter’s principles to advance freedom of religion or belief for all.

In November 2014, the Oslo Charter was signed by over 20 parliamentarians from around the world at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway. The Charter represents the foundation of the network and recognises the common goals and values of all participating parliamentarians. For each member, it is an expression of their commitment to advance freedom of religion or belief for all.
