Euro-Mediterranean Human Right Monitor is an independent, nonprofit organization for the protection of human rights. The main objective is to raise the level of awareness toward the human rights law in the area and to influence the international law to take action against human rights violators.[1]

Euro-Mediterranean Human Right Monitor was founded in Geneva in 2011 to allow it easy access to the European institutions of governance and law are its primary targets and audience. Euro-Mediterranean Human Right Monitor is frequently quoted by major news media, such as AlJazeera, BBC, France 24 and other international media about the increased violations during the armed conflicts, particularly in the MENA region.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Projects

We Are Not Numbers is a storytelling project launched in February 2015 by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor. The project brings promising young writers from Gaza, who write in English, and provides them with workshops on writing stories and articles, social media, and how to approach a western audience.[11] The project has received wide attention and coverage by media, either locally or internationally, making it a source of inspiration for many young writers who are interested in creative and meaningful writing.[12][13][14][15]

Allegations

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has been accused of having ties with Palestinian political organization, such accusations have always been rejected by the Monitor, stressing that their mission is purely humanitarian.[16]
