ICORN International Cities of Refuge

Please note that as of June 23, 2023, ICORN has not been accepting new applications. For updates, please check the ICORN website.

The , ICORN, is an independent organisation of cities and regions offering shelter to writers and artists at risk, advancing freedom of expression, defending democratic values and promoting international solidarity.

More than 70 cities have joined ICORN to promote freedom of expression and human rights, and host writers, artists, and journalists at risk.

You can find the list of cities providing refuge here.

The ICORN Secretariat receives, assesses, and approves applications from writers, artists, and journalists. When an applicant has been approved for an ICORN residency, ICORN tries to match the writer/artist/journalist with an ICORN City of Refuge as suitably as possible. This depends on the urgency of the case, the capacity of the city, and other factors such as cultural profile.

ICORN then presents a list of potential residents to the city which makes the final decision and issues an invitation.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF)

The Assistance Desk of RSF

  • the victims of violence connected with their reporting to obtain appropriate medical care

  • wrongfully prosecuted journalists to pay their legal fees

  • threatened journalists to find a safe refuge journalists to resolve their most urgent needs if they decide to flee abroad because of threats and persecution

  • families of journalists to cope with the consequences of the reprisals to which their loved-ones have been exposed.

Support to media outlets and NGOs

  • by facilitating training for their employees or members

  • by supporting campaigns and lobbying for freedom of information and for the protection of information providers.

The processing of applications for support and capacity-building requires more examination and preparation, and is therefore not as fast as the processing of applications by media outlets and NGOs that have been the victims of attacks or vandalism.

Media in Central Europe offer to host displaced journalists

"Newsrooms have also offered to provide working space, use of technology and editorial resources to displaced journalists. In some cases, the newsrooms would be able to host multiple journalists, allowing small teams to stay together. The situation remains uncertain and it is not clear how many journalists will be forced to flee and where they will move to, but IPI is coordinating the offers of support to ensure it can be given when needed."

The Center for Human Rights provides legal technical expert assistance to HRDs activists/lawyers. Please see contact: for more info.
