Action Group for Palestinians of Syria

The Action Group for Palestinians of Syria (AGPS) is a human rights and media organization specialized in monitoring the conditions of Palestinian refugees in Syria and documenting the repercussions of the Syrian war on them. According to its own account, it was launched following a workshop held in London in 2012 that brought together institutions and figures from media, thought, and politics, and it operates as a licensed organization in the United Kingdom from London. Its stated mission is to serve as a human rights observatory and media platform that monitors the concerns of Palestinians in Syria, defends their causes, and conveys their voice to the world, the international community, and decision-makers. The organization works on multiple levels. It documents and monitors field events and daily developments related to the conditions of Palestinians in Syria, prepares media coverage and periodic reports, and works to build a comprehensive database of victims, detainees, the missing, and various violations. It collects evidence and documentation with the aim of preparing legal case files to pursue justice and hold perpetrators and human rights violators accountable. It regularly shares its reports and statistics with the Human Rights Council and various relevant international and human rights organizations, issues appeals and memoranda, and seeks to exert pressure on centers of political and media influence. AGPS states that it maintains complete independence and objectivity, does not align with any political current or party to the conflict, and carries out its role with professionalism and neutrality, focusing primarily on the human rights situation of Palestinian civilians inside Syria or those displaced by the crisis. Its website publishes news, special reports, opinion articles, and documentation concerning Palestinian refugee camps and communities in Syria, including Yarmouk, Sbeineh, Jaramana, Khan al-Shih, Handarat, and others, covering topics such as detention and disappearance, humanitarian conditions, and international advocacy.
