DHR) is an NGO that endeavours to preserve
universal principles of dignity and respect by
shielding democracy and human rights. In the
pursuit of this vision, SALAM DHR aims to
influence the international community, including
UN representatives to improve the situation in the
Middle East, and foster advocacy of human rights
and democracy. To accomplish these goals, SALAM
DHR conducts monitoring and analysis, produces
reports, develops recommendations on policy and

training, and joins effective coalitions. For more

The Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI) is
the first and the only human rights NGO dedicated to
promoting the right to a nationality and the rights of
stateless people globally. ISI adopts an integrated,
human rights-based response to the injustice of
statelessness and exclusion. Concerned with the use
and abuse of citizenship deprivation powers, one of
ISI’s thematic priorities is to counter arbitrary
deprivation of nationality by calling out and resisting
the trend towards increased use of citizenship
stripping in a national security context, highlighting
new situations and maintaining a spotlight on
unresolved ones. For more information see:
www.institutesi.org.
The MENA Statelessness Network (Hawiati) is a
network bringing together actors working on, and
interested in, statelessness in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA). The network’s activities are
broadly focused around reducing and ending
statelessness in the MENA and protecting the human
rights of stateless persons in the MENA. More
specifically, the network’s founding strategy is
identifying and understanding statelessness, fostering
solidarity and collaboration and supporting advocacy.
