AUNOHR is a higher education institution with special values stemming from its mainspring: to devote university majors to the culture of non-violence, human rights and citizenship, and to institutionalize this culture academically as well as in cultural and educational productions.
Thus, AUNOHR library reflects its objectives in terms of the quality of books and references, which encompass specialized as well as general education contents.
AUNOHR seeks to build "The Arab Library of Non-Violence".
The library certainly includes AUNOHR publications.
The available references are mainly in three languages: Arabic, French and English, some of which are the original and the translated version into Arabic.
We acknowledge that the culture of Non-Violence is basically marginalized, especially in the Arab output; therefore, AUNOHR is devoted to adding to its specialized library, new academic, scientific, and cultural publications, through the following means:
*Translating international literature on nonviolence into Arabic, and issuing them in a format suitable for academic use as well as for the general awareness;
*Authoring and preparing new productions that link the culture of nonviolence to other sciences and majors;
*Issuing first-of-its-kind series of textbooks with great theoretical and practical benefits for AUNOHR students as well as higher education in Lebanon, the region and the world.
About the Non-Violence Translations,
Walid Slaybi, the founder of AUNOHR, has launched “the Series of Non-violence Translations into Arabic” since the early 1980s during the civil war in Lebanon. First, the series was initiated by translating texts and chapters of nonviolent books and experiences without issuing them, until 1993 when the series was officially established. The first 14 translated books were translated under the supervision of Slaybi and/or his participation, and published within the period 1995-1999. Ever since, he has continued this cumulative work, and the translations were subsequently carried out by AUNOHR.
The university publications are currently being issued in the name of AUNOHR as well as the name of the Lebanese Association for Civil Rights (LACR) (the entity thru which AUNOHR registered its legal license).
