A short message from our Executive Director

"I am proud of what the International Alliance Against State Kidnapping and Hostage-Taking (HAlliance) has achieved since 2019. Our progress is the direct result of collective hard work, unwavering dedication, and the shared commitment of colleagues and volunteers who believe in our mission. I am grateful for every member of this team and for the spirit of collaboration that continues to drive us forward.

We are operating in a critical moment in history—one marked by global uncertainty, geopolitical instability, and unprecedented challenges to human rights. Yet, it is precisely in such times that our work matters most.

Thank you for your continued trust and support, to ensure that justice, humanity, and accountability prevail."
