ICJ - International Commission of Jurists

The legal teams at the ICJ are supported by 60 Commissioners, who are expert judges, lawyers and academics from all legal traditions. They are selected for their experience, knowledge and fundamental commitment to human rights. They provide pro bono support, using their unique legal expertise and access to ensure that people everywhere benfit 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. We work around the world, but focus on countries where human rights and the rule of law are most at risk. Over the past 70 year, our work has benefited the lives of millions of people.

We do 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,
