Who we are?

The Arab Center for Law and Society Studies, in Arabic: المركز العربي لدراسات القانون والمجتمع, in French: Centre Arabe d'Études du Droit et de la Société, is a French non-profit organization registered under the number W751253248.

The Arab Center for Law and Society Studies (ACLSS), established in 2018, is dedicated to advocating for justice and human rights across the Middle East and North Africa.

Our mission is to empower human rights defenders and civil society organisations to address contemporary challenges effectively and advance justice and equality.
