The Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia (CDHR) is an independent and non-partisan 501 (c) (3) organization established to accentuate the importance of democratizing Saudi Arabia through a peaceful transformation of its existing political, religious, educational, economic and social institutions. Due to its centrality to Islam and its position as the largest exporter of petroleum, Saudi Arabia plays a major religious and economic role in the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide. Thus, stabilizing Saudi Arabia under a participatory governing system and rule of law is of supreme importance to regional and global peace, as well as economic stability over time.

CDHR researches, interprets and analyzes Saudi current events, as well as domestic and foreign policy and provides pertinent information and analysis to legislators, media, students, educators and the public at large. As a promoter of human rights and the establishment of non-sectarian laws in Saudi Arabia, CDHR supports Saudi democratic reformers, features information about them on its website and rallies support for their release from Saudi prisons.
