How we work

The EMHRN’s work is based on a participatory approach. Its principle task is to facilitate the work of its members by promoting:

  • Policy development and lobbying on human rights issues and procedures within the broad EU context and in relation to the EuroMed and Arab regions.
  • Capacity building and networking through regional and thematic working groups.
  • Solidarity by sending missions and trial observers, and by publishing urgent alerts in cases of deterioration of human rights and when our members are in danger.
  • Information and awareness-raising by publishing reports, policy papers and newsletters.
  • Research and training by identifying key areas of research as well as organising training seminars, thematic workshops and seminars allowing for exchange and dialogue.
