We are dedicated to upholding and advancing human rights and international law. Our team advocates for those who have faced human rights violations on a global scale, including genocide, war crimes, and other crimes against humanity.
Overview
In a world scarred by mass atrocities, our team confronts the challenge of pursuing justice for victims, navigating complex international legal landscapes to hold perpetrators of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and other systemic human rights abuses accountable. We believe in a world where human rights are protected and no one is above the law. We aim to hold perpetrators of mass atrocities accountable for their crimes, and to help victims fight for justice.
War Crimes
Quantifying war crimes victims globally is a complex task due to the fluid nature of conflicts and the diverse interpretations of war crimes. Victims are often in areas beset by ongoing warfare, governance instability, or targeted oppression, making accurate data collection challenging. Factors such as limited access to conflict zones and the propensity for these crimes to go unreported further complicate this task. Organizations like the United Nations, the Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International are dedicated to detailing the ramifications of war crimes on civilians.
Victims' Rights
Victims of war crimes, genocide, and other crimes against humanity, possess inalienable rights that we are committed to upholding. These include:
- Right to Justice: You can seek legal redress through international courts and legal systems dedicated to prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity.
- Right to be Heard: Your personal narrative and experiences deserve to be heard as a critical part of the justice process.
- Right to Accountability: Those responsible for inflicting harm upon you should face the consequences of their actions under the law.
- Right to Reparations: You are entitled to seek compensation for the harms you've suffered as a result of these egregious crimes.
Victims may have the right to reparations in the form of financial compensation for their suffering and to restitution for the restoration of property and rights lost.
