CENTRE DOCUMENTING HUMAN RIGHTS IN ARAB WORLD OPENS
June 10 marked the opening of a centre in Paris to document human rights
issues affecting the Arab region, reports the Cairo Institute for Human
Rights Studies (CIHRS). In cooperation with the University of Nanterre,
CIHRS will gather English, French and Arabic documents for the centre. The
centre will hold reports, publications and audio-visual resources that
chronicle both the status of human rights and the work of rights
organisations operating in Arab countries.
Other organisations involved include: the International Contemporary
Documentation Library; Ahmed Othmani Foundation, Paris; the Committee on
Respecting Freedom and Human Rights in Tunisia, Paris; and the Generic
Association, which focuses on Arab migrants to France.
