IRC Lecture

The International Rescue Committee UK is an independent British charity, established in 1997 as part of the International Rescue Committee global network. Founded in 1933, the IRC provides emergency relief, protection of human rights, post-conflict reconstruction, resettlement assistance and advocacy to those uprooted or affected by violent conflict or oppression around the world. All the IRC's work reflects its commitment to freedom, human dignity and self reliance.
