The Arab Organization for Human Rights (Arabic: المنظمة العربية لحقوق الإنسان, romanized: al-Munaẓẓamah al-ʻArabīyah li-Ḥuqūq al-Insān) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that works on human rights issues in the Arab World. It was founded with a resolution agreed on in Hammamet, Tunisia, in 1983.
Its general Assembly is held every three years, while the Board of Trustees meets annually, and consists of 25 members. 20 of the members are elected, while the remaining 5 are appointed by the AOHR. Its current headquarters is in Cairo, Egypt.
Among the organization's founders were French-Syrian sociologist Burhan Ghalioun, who later became first chairman of the Syrian National Council, and sociologist Saad Eddin Ibrahim.[1][2]
