The International Association for Human Rights Advocacy in Geneva (IAHRAG) produces analytical publications, legal position papers, monitoring tools, and annual reports supporting evidence-based human rights advocacy and international legal dialogue.
IAHRAG Report Annuel 2024
The IAHRAG Final Report 2024 presents a comprehensive overview of the organisation’s activities, legal advocacy initiatives, and engagement with international human rights mechanisms throughout the reporting period. The report documents IAHRAG’s work before United Nations Treaty Bodies, Special Procedures, and other international monitoring frameworks.
The report provides thematic analysis of systemic human rights concerns, including rule of law challenges, due process violations, and the use of counter-terrorism measures in ways that may undermine fundamental rights. It also summarises strategic litigation efforts, stakeholder engagement, and capacity-building initiatives carried out in cooperation with international partners.
The document also contributes to institutional transparency by outlining IAHRAG’s methodological approach, advocacy priorities, and long-term strategic objectives.
IAHRAG Index — UN Treaty Bodies Concluding Observations on Türkiye (2022–2024)
This index compiles and systematises concluding observations issued by United Nations Treaty Bodies concerning Türkiye between 2022 and 2024. The document is designed as a practical reference tool supporting academic research, legal analysis, policy development, and human rights monitoring.
The index categorises recommendations across thematic areas including judicial independence, arbitrary detention, fair trial rights, freedom of expression, and protection against torture and ill-treatment. By consolidating dispersed UN documentation into a structured format, the index facilitates comparative analysis and trend identification.
The publication supports evidence-based advocacy efforts and assists stakeholders in tracking implementation of international human rights obligations over time.

IAHRA Geneva Position Paper — Yasak v. Türkiye (ECtHR, Application No. 17389/20)
IAHRA Geneva has the honour to submit its position paper concerning the Yasak v. Türkiye case before the European Court of Human Rights. The paper was prepared in response to supplementary observations submitted by the Turkish Government in proceedings before the United Nations Human Rights Committee.
The publication provides detailed legal and procedural analysis of arguments advanced by the Government, particularly in relation to the interpretation of ECtHR jurisprudence and the application of international human rights law standards in domestic proceedings. It examines issues related to foreseeability, fair trial guarantees, and the broader implications of counter-terrorism legislation on fundamental rights protections.
The paper also situates the Yasak judgment within the broader context of ongoing international legal review and discusses the procedural status of the case, including its referral to the Grand Chamber.
