The Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia (CDHR) is a United States‑based nonprofit organization focused on promoting political transformation within Saudi Arabia toward a system that empowers citizens to pursue a peaceful, prosperous, and tolerant future. Its work centers on advancing democratic and human rights objectives in a context shaped by Saudi Arabia’s central role in Islam and global petroleum markets, with the broader aim of contributing to stability for the Saudi people and the wider international community. The organization operates within the international affairs sector, and it positions itself as a small nonprofit with a mission to influence autocratic institutions toward more inclusive governance. The center was established as a 501(c)(3) entity and is based in the United States, with a stated objective to foster reform and pluralistic institutions in Saudi Arabia. A recent development involves collaboration tied to an inclusive dialogue initiative reported in July 2023, reflecting ongoing activities to support its mission through dialogue and engagement on governance topics.
