Access Center for Human Rights (ACHR)

The Access Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) operates as a non-profit, non-governmental human rights organization. It is led and run by Syrian refugees who have professional backgrounds in law, human rights, and journalism and who were forced to seek asylum in Lebanon because of their pro-democracy activism in Syria. ACHR is dedicated to upholding the rule of law and fighting impunity. It maintains a non-religious, non-sectarian stance and remains independent of any political affiliations. ACHR defends the communal and individual rights of refugees by investigating and highlighting the many violations of international law from which they suffer. ACHR argues for the voluntary, dignified and safe return of refugees to their countries of origin. It has been registered in Lebanon since 2017 and in France since 2020.
