CCPR -INTERNATIONAL COVENANT on CIVIL and POLITICAL RIGHTS

The Alevi Philosophy Center - ADO in Turkey is a pivotal institution that embodies and promotes the teachings and values of Alevism, a distinct non-orthodox/heterodox religious and cultural tradition within Islam, primarily exercised in Turkey. In addition to its educational and spiritual roles, ADO is an important advocate for the rights and recognition of the Alevi community, which has historically faced marginalisation and discrimination in Turkey. The centre works to promote the inclusion of Alevi teachings in the broader narrative of Turkish history and culture, challenging stereotypes and fostering greater social cohesion. Through various programmes, seminars, and cultural events, the centre aims to bridge the gap between Alevis and other religious and ethnic communities.
