ACRLI - Arab Center for the Development of the Rule of Law and Integrity

The Arab Center for the Development of the Rule of Law and Integrity ACRLI is an Arab regional, non-governmental and non-profit organization, founded in 2003 by a group of judges, specialists, lawyers and academics from Lebanon and other Arab countries.

The Center was established to participate with other similar organizations aiming to develop and reinforce the rule of law and integrity and good governance in the Arab countries, based on the respect of civil and human rights and sound democratic practices. The Beirut headquarters works in collaboration with its branches and affiliates in the Arab Countries, as well as with other regional and international organizations, some of which are: the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Programme on Governance in the Arab Region (POGAR), the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) , Research and Study Firm in Informatics and Law (MADAMEK), Ford foundation, Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF),  Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and various NGOs in the Arab world.

ACRLI’s highly qualified team is specialized in research and project management, cross-cultural studies and analysis, information technology and build databases as well as ensuring the delivery of good quality services.

The statute of the Arab Center for the Rule of Law stipulated a supervising committee composed of Arab and international personalities, well-known for their deeds and commitment to develop the rule of law and integrity, as well as representatives of local, regional and international organizations.

This committee is entitled to review the Center’s activities, produce a regional annual report that will constitute the basis and provide the guidelines for the Center’s future activities and highlight the Center’s achievements in the development of the rule of law in the Arab world.
