Algerian League for the Defence of Human Rights
Algeria
The Algerian League for the Defence of Human Rights (LADDH) is a national non-profit association subject to the provisions of Law 12/06 of 12 January 2012 relating to associations. It was founded in 1985 by a group of activists. The LADDH’s mission is to defend individual and collective freedoms, in accordance with the UN Charter of Human Rights and to combat arbitrariness, intolerance, injustice, oppression, repression, and all forms of racism and discrimination. The LADDH works for the independence of the judiciary, ensuring that it remains free from pressure and knows no limits other than those of law.
The association provides assistance to anyone whose rights are violated or whose freedom is threatened, publicly denounces the use of torture and takes action to eradicate this scourge.
