On 23 July 2015, Alkarama submitted a communication to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence (SR Truth) concerning the case of Abderrahmane Ould Ahmed, an activist still threatened and persecuted by the Mauritanian authorities for his fight against the impunity of the perpetrators of the Inal massacre of black Mauritanians in the early 1990s.

On 23 March 2015, Alkarama submitted its report on Mauritania's human rights record to the United Nations Human Right Council (HCR) in view of Mauritania's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on 3 November 2015. The report highlights numerous human rights issues, including the State's failure to penalise torture as a specific criminal offence, deplorable conditions of detention and numerous instances of arbitrary detention, the continued use of the death penalty despite a moratorium, violations in the context of the fight against terrorism, violations of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly, and the persistent practice of slavery.

Maarouf Ould Al Hiba, 33, was secretly detained in Salah Eddine military base, North Mauritania. He died on 12 May 2014 in dubious circumstances. The little information available on the nature and legal status of this centre of detention comes in addition to Alkarama's concern over this death.
