WHO WE ARE

The Center for Justice and Accountability is an international human rights organization dedicated to deterring torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity and other severe human rights abuses around the world through litigation, policy advocacy and outreach in pursuit of truth, justice and redress for victims and survivors.

OUR WORK CJA is now the leading non-profit organization that litigates cases against individual human rights abusers in the U.S., Spain and Cambodia. We have litigated cases against human rights abusers from Bosnia, Cambodia, Chile, China, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Peru and Somalia and currently represent survivors of torture and other human rights abuses from 19 countries. CJA is part of the movement for global justice for those who have been tortured or subjected to other severe human rights abuses. We were founded on the principle, first used during the Nuremberg trials, that certain crimes are so egregious that they represent offenses against all humankind. These crimes include genocide, crimes against humanity, extrajudicial killing and torture. Such crimes are subject to universal jurisdiction under international law. Centuries ago, under this principle, pirates could be brought to justice in whatever port they were found. Like the pirates of old, today's torturers and war criminals should be held criminally or civilly liable wherever they are found, no matter where the crime occurred, and regardless of the victim's or the perpetrators' nationality. In addition to our staff of attorneys, CJA leverages resources by partnering with pro bono law firms, investigators, and expert witnesses to help litigate our cases. We have built a unique network of partners which includes health care professionals, military and forensic experts, refugee groups, law school clinics and other NGOs.

OUR PROGRAMS

Human Rights Litigation: Ending impunity and seeking redress for survivors in courts around the world. Amicus Briefs: Advancing human rights jurisprudence in domestic, foreign and international courts. Transitional Justice: Supporting efforts to prosecute human rights crimes and repair post-conflict societies. Outreach and Education: Supporting survivor communities and training the next generation of human rights attorneys and advocates. Extradition, Removal, and U.S. Human Rights Policy: Building the political will and legal framework for human rights enforcement in the United States.
