What does the future of human rights in Armenia look like? At the A.D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Protection Centre, we have spent the last few years working toward a specific, strategic vision.
Our 2021-2025 Strategic Plan serves as our guiding North Star, ensuring that every legal case we take, every student we train, and every report we publish moves us closer to a society governed by the rule of law.
- Protecting Fundamental Freedoms: Providing high-quality legal aid and representing the interests of vulnerable groups (including displaced persons and those facing labor discrimination) in court and before the state.
- Developing Civil Society: Using our Civil Society School (CSS) to incubate new NGOs and initiative groups, ensuring that citizens in every region of Armenia have the tools to advocate for their own communities.
- Modernizing Governance: Moving toward a “Digital Armenia” by advocating for fair electronic services, transparent public services, and the ethical use of AI.
Our strategy was built to be resilient. Whether navigating the aftermath of conflict or responding to new technological shifts, our mission remains rooted in the universal values of Andrei Sakharov: Peace, Progress, and Human Rights.
We have committed to improving our own internal infrastructure—from cybersecurity to youth mentorship programs—to ensure we remain a professional and modern “Civic Watchdog” for years to come.
