The International Peace Observers Network (IPON) is an independent, non-violent human rights, non-profit organization based in Hamburg, Germany.
[1] IPON aims to create an environment where human rights are respected and human rights groups are able to undertake their work in a secure environment free from threats, violence, and repression.
[2][3][4][5] Upon request, international volunteers, who work as peaceworkers, accompany groups of human rights defenders (HRD) in the Philippines, currently in the islands of Luzon, Negros, and Mindanao.
Information gathered in conflict areas is analyzed by observers and brought to the attention of the international public.
The publication of human rights violations will finally lead to their decrease and prevention.
