Karamah: Muslim Women Lawyers for Human Rights

KARAMAH is associated with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations (UNDPI). Karamah's association with UNDPI constitutes a commitment on our part to disseminate information and raise public awareness about the purposes and activities of the United Nations (UN) and issues of global concern.

The relationship between NGOs and the UNDPI is based on General Assembly resolution 13 (I) of 13 February 1946, by which the Assembly decided that the Department and its branch offices should actively assist and encourage national information services, educational institutions and other governmental and interested groups in spreading information about the United Nations. Formal association with the Department was given legislative authority by the Economic and Social Council in its resolution 1297 (XLIV).
