International Organization for Animal Protection (OIPA), is an International Confederation of associations (today more than 220) for the animal protection and the defence of animal rights all over the world.
Founded in 1981 by Milly Shar Manzoli, OIPA is a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) associated to the UN Department of Global Communications (DGC) since 1992 and the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). OIPA is also accredited at the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and included in the Register of Representatives of Interest of the European Commission.

The purpose of the Organization is the protection of animal rights, the defence of animals from any kind of mistreatment, cruelty and abuse and the protection of the environment.
OIPA also aims to enhance public awareness supporting the abolishment of any kind of animal experiments, the ban on breedings, fur farmings, wildlife trafficking at a worldwide level. The Organization wants to contribute to the creation of a better, healthier and more ethical world, where medical science is not based on violence and civil society has learned to respect and protect the environment and any sentient beings and form of life that share the Planet with the human being.
