Possibly influenced by IHRAAM's Petitions under Special Resolution 1503, the United Nations empowered a UN Special Rapporteur on Racism, who made a tour of investigation to the United States in October 1994, and held a series of consultations with government officials and human rights organizations. 

IHRAAM representatives regularly attend special meetings of the U.N. Working Group on Minorities, as well as sessions of the U.N. Human Rights Commission and Sub-Commission on the Protection of Human Rights. IHRAAM also facilitates the interventions of other groups and individuals.
