What is Humanists International? How do humanists work inside the United Nations and the UN Human Rights Council?

This episode launches the Freedom of Thought Podcast by Humanists International — a global human rights and secular advocacy organisation representing the worldwide humanist movement.

In this episode, we explore:
• What humanism is and how the modern humanist movement operates globally
• How Humanists International engages with the United Nations
• What really happens inside the UN Human Rights Council
• How freedom of thought, freedom of belief, and secular values are defended internationally
• The role of civil society, NGOs, and advocacy groups in global human rights spaces
• Why the IRF Summit and the World Humanist Congress 2026 matter for international religious freedom and universal rights

Learn how lived experience informs advocacy at the UN, how international human rights mechanisms function, and why defending freedom of thought is increasingly urgent in 2026.

Whether you are interested in humanism, secularism, religious freedom, international law, civil society advocacy, or global human rights policy, this episode provides an inside look at how humanists work within the United Nations system.

Hosted by: Gary McLelland & Leon Langdon
