In 2002, the Lebanese Centre for Human Rights (CLDH) supported the organization of a conference in collaboration with a regional coalition of 24 NGOs established in 2001 to deal with enforced disappearance in the region. The conference was held in Barcelona, Lebanon, Algeria and Morocco. In addition, CLDH worked on the project khitat al-a’mal lel-Ekhfa’ al-kasri(Action Plan to Deal with Enforced Disappearance), in which they supported the lobbying activity of the NGOs’ coalition working on enforced disappearance, including the Committee of Families of the Kidnapped and Disappeared in Lebanon, Support of the Lebanese in Detention and Exile (SOLIDE), Legal Agenda, Act for the Disappeared, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), International Centre for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) for over 2 years.

In partnership with ALEF (a Lebanese Human Rights NGO), the Lebanese Centre for Human Rights (CLDH) initiated in 2007 a project dedicated to monitor human rights violations. CLDH also produced several investigation reports on cases of human rights violations including enforced disappearance and torture. Some of these reports were focusing on individual cases, and eventually helped in revealing information about a number of detainees in Syria, many of whom were released (e.g. Georges Ayoub Chalaweet, Naji Hareb, and others). CLDH used this work to support the Right to Know campaign led by the Committee of Families of the Kidnapped and Disappeared in Lebanon. By making these reports public through media outlets, pressure was exerted on the Government to recognize these violations. CLDH also provided low-income inmates unable to afford their legal expenses with lawyers and legal assistance.
