The International Freedom Coalition was founded in 2026 by Dr. Charles Jacobs and Dr. Walid Phares. Both founders have spent decades working with persecuted communities, documenting abuses, raising public awareness, and pushing for international action. After more than a generation of existing institutions failing to respond, they created the IFC to do the job established groups and leaders refused to do.
Around the world, communities facing violence and persecution from jihadist movements have largely been ignored by major international bodies. Many have never had a single United Nations resolution passed on their behalf — even a non-binding one — despite years of documented abuse. The IFC was built to change that.
Regional desks build evidence-based case files on each community — covering history, current situation, and the resolution being sought.
Completed dossiers are used to brief journalists, policymakers, and international institutions with verified, structured findings.
IFC pushes these cases before the UN, national legislatures, and human rights courts until enforceable action is taken.
