I'd be very greatful If you could tell me which countries have ratified the ACHR.
Dear Thomas,
The following information is from http://www.icnl.org/research/monitor/las.html
In March 2008 the Arab Charter on Human Rights entered into force. This landmark document was the result of more than forty-five years of efforts to draft a human rights treaty for the Arab world. Indeed, as far back as 1960 the Union of Arab Lawyers lobbied the League "to adopt an Arab Convention on Human Rights," and an earlier version of the Arab Charter drafted in 1994 was never ratified and failed to enter into force. On May 24, 2004, a revised Arab Charter on Human Rights was approved at the twenty-sixth Summit of the League of Arab States in Tunis, Tunisia. It is this second Arab Charter on Human Rights which took effect in 2008 upon the deposit of seventh ratification by an Arab state. As of this writing, the revised Arab Charter on Human Rights has been ratified by a total of seventeen states: Algeria (2006), Bahrain (2006), Egypt (signed 2004, not yet ratified), Iraq (2012), Jordan (2004), Kuwait (2006), Lebanon (2011), Libya (2006), Morocco (signed 2004, not yet ratified), Palestine (2007), Qatar (2009), Saudi Arabia (2009), Sudan (signed 2005, not yet ratified), Syria (2007), Tunisia (signed 2004, not yet ratified), the United Arab Emirates (2008), and Yemen (2008).
Hope this helps. Have a great day.
Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Somalia, Palestine, Libya, UAE, Lebanon, Tunisia, Bahrayn, Jibuti, Oman, Mauritania, Comores
For further and substantive analysis of the Arab Charter of Human Rights, I recommend Ahmed El Demery: The Arab Charter of Human Rights - a Voice for Sharia in the Modern World, Council on International Law and Politics, Chicago 2015, available from Amazon.
Dear Srinivasan Rajamanickam, thank you for this link but I really think that this site is wrong when it indicates that the Charter has been ratified by seventeen States...Even the list it gives only mention 13 ratifications...
Dear Suleman Dangor, you gave me the list of the members of the Arab League but thanks anyway.
Dear Frank Emmert, I'm a bit out of money now but as soon as I can I promise I'll buy it!
I wish you all a nice day!
Suleman Dangor, thanks a lot but, as I said in my question, I want to know which country ratified the ACHR. Apparently it is indicate in the left column of the document.
The charter specifies people's rights within the context of theocratic, xenophobic states. As such these rights are not necessarily the same as universal fundamental rights which, by the way, come before any rights that are based on optional beliefs.
Dear Thomas
Both Sirinivan and Suleman are correct in the information they provided you with.
Dear Mohamed Raffa, thank you for your concern.
I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure theses informations are false.
First for Sirinivan, the site he used indicates :
"the revised Arab Charter on Human Rights has been ratified by a total of seventeen states: Algeria (2006), Bahrain (2006), Egypt (signed 2004, not yet ratified), Iraq (2012), Jordan (2004), Kuwait (2006), Lebanon (2011), Libya (2006), Morocco (signed 2004, not yet ratified), Palestine (2007), Qatar (2009), Saudi Arabia (2009), Sudan (signed 2005, not yet ratified), Syria (2007), Tunisia (signed 2004, not yet ratified), the United Arab Emirates (2008), and Yemen (2008)".
But if you count them using the list given by the site there are only 13 States who have ratified the ACHR.
For the list given by Suleman, it's only the list of States parties to Arab League and not the States parties to the ACHR and I'm 100% sure that not all the States parties to Arab League have ratified the ACHR.
Dear Thomas,
According to the attached table , these countries ratified the ACHR:
Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya and Yemen.
hope this will help.

Amanj
