Alkarama is a human rights organisation focused on combating injustice in the Arab world, a mission it has pursued since 2004. It works across countries in the Gulf, Maghreb, Mashreq and Nile regions, documenting alleged violations and raising cases with United Nations bodies and experts. Its advocacy addresses extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearance, torture, arbitrary detention, and threats to judicial independence and human rights defenders. The organisation also covers freedom of expression and assembly, counter-terrorism, armed conflict, children’s rights and discrimination.

Alkarama’s work includes submitting urgent appeals and individual cases to UN mechanisms, contributing to human rights reviews, and publishing country updates, thematic reports and annual reports. It engages with bodies and procedures including the Human Rights Committee, the Committee against Torture, the Committee on Enforced Disappearances, the Universal Periodic Review and UN special procedures. The website provides resources such as legal instruments, national legislation and practical guides, alongside news, statements and information about the organisation’s charter, history, people, activities and events.
