Established in 1972, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) is Israel’s oldest and largest human rights organization and the only one dealing with the entire spectrum of rights and civil liberties issues in Israel and the Occupied Territories. An independent and non-partisan organization, ACRI’s mandate is to ensure Israel’s accountability and respect for human rights, by addressing violations committed by the Israeli authorities in Israel, the Occupied Territories, or elsewhere. ACRI’s activities include precedent-setting litigation, innovative education programs, and high-profile public outreach work as the most effective way in which to build toward its long-term vision of a just and democratic society that respects the equal rights of all its members.
