In Afghanistan, a war-torn country, impunity for human rights violations and abuses had long prevailed. Despite the hope for a better future, since the unlawful takeover of the country by force in August 2021, the human rights situation has become dire and victims have been left without meaningful recourse.
As human rights crises persist and emerge around the world, the Center for Human Rights Advocacy was created to ensure victims are heard, by providing support to facilitate their access to international human rights mechanisms and international and national courts.
We believe justice is not a privilege but a right – and an essential element for building durable peace.
