alHaq

Al-Haq is a Palestinian non-governmental human rights organization founded in 1979 and based in Ramallah in the West Bank. Its mandate is to document, analyze, and advocate for the protection of human rights and the full application of international humanitarian and human rights law in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Al-Haq seeks accountability for abuses committed by state and non-state actors and aims to support affected communities through research and legal engagement.

Its work includes legal research, the production of reports and briefing papers, and the maintenance of casework on issues such as deprivation of liberty, excessive use of force, house demolitions, restrictions on movement, violence against civilians, and the rights of children and detainees. The organization provides legal assistance to victims, trains human rights defenders, and engages with international institutions and mechanisms to raise awareness, monitor compliance, and advocate for reforms consistent with international law.

Al-Haq collaborates with Palestinian and international partners to document abuses and strengthen capacity for accountability. Its funding comes from diverse international donors and partners, and its governance includes a board and staff with expertise in law, human rights, and advocacy. The group is widely cited in human rights discussions and participates in networks that monitor and respond to violations in the occupied territories.
