Helsinki Committees for Human Rights exist in many European countries (the OSCE region) as volunteer, non-profit organizations devoted to human rights and presumably named after the Helsinki Accords. They are organized into the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights that is currently based in Vienna.
The Helsinki Committees began as Helsinki Watch groups. The first one was founded in the Soviet Union in 1976, the second in 1977 in Czechoslovakia, the third in 1979 in Poland, etc.
In 1982, representatives of several of these committees held an International Citizens Helsinki Watch Conference and founded the IHF.
