ICJ - International Commission of Jurists
Advocates for Justice - Legal NGO dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights through the rule of law since 1952
The legal teams at the ICJ are supported by 60 Commissioners, who are expert judges, lawyers and academics from all legal traditions. Using their unique legal expertise and access, the ICJ works to ensure that people everywhere benefit equally from the rule of law and human rights, and if those rights are violated, they can seek and receive adequate remedies from courts that are independent, impartial, fair, and effective. The ICJ works around the world, but focuses on those countries where human rights and the rule of law are most at risk.
The ICJ achieves this by:
· Supporting the drafting and adoption of landmark human rights treaties and conventions
· Promoting judicial independence and the rule of law
· Monitoring the human rights situation around the world
· Advocating for the rights of vulnerable groups
· Providing legal education and training
. Defending human rights in conflict and post-conflict situations.
· Building networks of lawyers and judges committed to upholding the rule of law
Your contribution will enable us to continue our vital advocacy work at national, regional and international levels, as well as providing ongoing support to legal professionals, human rights defenders, civil society organisations and survivor groups in countries including Myanmar, Venezuela, Guatemala, Egypt, Nepal, Eswatini, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Suriname, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Zimbabwe,

Ensuring Accountability for Gross Human Rights Violations
In response to the ongoing conflicts around the world and their deleterious impact on human rights, the ICJ has made accountability for gross human rights and serious humanitarian law violations among our highest priorities. In conflict and post-conflict countries around the world, our in-country teams are supported by the Commissioners to provide support and training to legal professionals, human rights defenders and civil society organisations. We are then able to share unique legal and strategic analyses at the national, regional and international mechanisms to ensure victims of serious human rights and humanitarian law violations receive justice. We are also supporting the development of the Convention on Crimes against Humanity, as well as efforts to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of international accountability mechanisms, including the establishment of a Standing Independent Investigative Mechanism (SIM). We are supported exclusively through donations and grants.
