BackThe International Ombudsman Institute is deeply concerned about the recent abhorrent abduction of more than 200 school girls in Nigeria.
As the only global organization uniting Ombudsman institutions - many of which also serve as their countries’ National Human Rights Institutions - the IOI condemns all attacks against human rights and fundamental freedoms.
During this unbearable time the Ombudsman community’s thoughts go out to the girls and their families. We stand with them in condemning this flagrant abuse of their human rights.
On behalf of its members the IOI hereby expresses its support for all efforts and initiatives such as the international campaign "Bring Back Our Girls" to achieve the safe release of the girls and their return to their families.
