Founded in 1972, ACRI is a policy driven, non-profit organization protecting the human rights and civil liberties of all people living in Israel and the occupied territories.
We uphold the pillars of democracy by demanding duty bearers change policies and practices that violate basic rights and liberties. ACRI works together with the courts, the Knesset, government agencies and civil society to tackle the most urgent injustices in our country. To this end, our strategic focus areas include: the Arab minority, migrants and refugees, the occupied territories, social and economic rights, and political and social rights. ACRI also ensures a public discourse of human rights via social and print media in Hebrew, Arabic and English, and through extensive work with teacher training colleges, universities, and educational policy makers.
