INTERNSHIPS at the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network Brussels’ office


The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) was founded in January 1997 in response to the Barcelona Declaration of November 1995 and the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP). It is the coordinating body of about eighty human rights organisations and institutions as well as individuals from over thirty countries in the region. Rooted in civil society the EMHRN seeks to develop and strengthen partnerships between NGOs in the EuroMed region, i.e. networking aimed at strengthening the capacity of members to act and interact within the context of the region and the Barcelona process and other EU-Arab cooperation frameworks. The Brussel’s office advocates for human rights with the EU institutions and within the framework of the Barcelona Process and European Neighbourhood Policy.
