MENA Rights Group

MENA Rights Group is a Geneva-based legal advocacy NGO defending and promoting fundamental rights and freedoms in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Adopting a holistic approach, it works at both the individual and structural level. It represents victims of human rights violations before international law mechanisms.

The MENA Rights Group works directly with victims, their families, lawyers, human rights defenders and other civil society actors. They support them to claim their universally recognized rights and freedoms. At the individual level, they document cases of human rights violations, provide legal assistance to victims, and raise awareness of their plight with relevant stakeholders. At the structural level, they undertake in-depth research to assess the root cause of human rights violations. On that basis, they advocate for legal and policy reform in line with international standards.
