Adalah is an independent human rights organization, registered in Israel. It is a non-profit, non-governmental, and non-partisan legal center. Established in November 1996, it serves Arab citizens of Israel, numbering over one million people or close to 20% of the population. Adalah ("Justice" in Arabic) works to protect human rights in general, and the rights of the Arab minority in particular.

  • Advocates for legislation that will ensure equal individual and collective rights for the Arab minority.
  • Provides legal consultation to individuals, non-governmental organizations, and Arab institutions.
  • Appeals to international institutions and forums in order to promote the rights of the Arab minority in particular, and human rights in general.
