The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR, Arabic: الشبكة السورية لحقوق الإنسان) is a UK-based[2][6][7] independent monitoring group,[8][9][10] which monitors casualties and briefs various United Nations agencies.[11] It monitors Syrian casualties of all the parties in the Syrian civil war.[12] The SNHR was founded in June 2011 by Fadel Abdul Ghany, who is the chairman of the board of directors.[13] Members have been detained, and many now live outside Syria.[1]

Its reports have been cited by news media,[14][2] non-governmental organizations,[15][16] as well as by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.[17][18]
