ACRI (Association for Civil Rights in Israel) is the oldest and most influential civil and human rights organization in Israel. Founded in 1972, ACRI is the only NGO in Israel advocating across the broad spectrum of human rights and civil liberties for everyone living in Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Our strategic focus areas include: the Arab minority, migrants and refugees, the occupied Palestinian territories, and social, economic rights, and political rights.
An independent and non-partisan organization, ACRI’s mandate is to ensure Israel’s accountability and respect for human rights, and is committed to promoting and defending the human rights and civil liberties of all, regardless of religion, nationality, gender, ethnicity, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background.
ACRI is widely respected within the legal community and among decision makers, the media and the public at large. ACRI’s legal team is considered the best legal advocacy team in the human and civil rights fields in Israel.
