Goals / Remit
The Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS) advocates for human rights, democracy, and accountability across the Arab region. As a regional organization deeply embedded within the human rights movement in the Arab region, CIHRS fosters strong connections with civil society organizations on the ground while effectively engaging with players in the international community, such as the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). CIHRS has a distinctive ability to connect human rights violations in MENA to global security and stability concerns. The organization combines international advocacy, research, capacity building, and human rights dissemination and media campaigns to elevate the voices of local human rights actors and defenders, and in doing so contributes to the protection of public space within the Arab region. On the EU level, CIHRS aims to engage and encourage EU interest-driven actors to respect human rights, justice and accountability.
Main EU files targeted
Advocacy on the EU member states and institutional level, in coordination with human rights and democracy defenders from the MENA region, as well as capacity-building and networking activities for these rights defenders focusing on EU mechanisms.
