Themes

EuroMed Rights main strength and added value lie in its regional character and its capacity to bring together human rights defenders across the Euro-Mediterranean region. Regional thematic activities are thus the point of departure for EuroMed Rights’ work.

These activities are defined by a Strategy Paper that EuroMed Rights adopted at its last General Assembly .
