The CDHRAP is a Saudi Arabian human rights non-governmental organisation created in 1992 and based in Beirut that states its belief in human rights "guaranteed by international treaties and conventions so long as they do not contradict with Islamic Laws". It declares itself opposed to human rights violations in the Arabian Peninsula, especially against the Shi'a minority. It claims to oppose religion-based discrimination in general. CDHRAP acts by publishing news releases, monthly and annual documents in English, Arabic and Persian and cooperating with international human rights organisations. Saudi government reactions
