International Commission of Jurists
The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1952, dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights and the rule of law worldwide. It comprises a network of legal experts, including judges and lawyers, who work to ensure that international law is upheld and that justice is accessible to all.
The ICJ engages in various activities, such as legal research, advocacy, and capacity-building, to support the implementation of human rights standards. It collaborates with other organizations, including the United Nations and regional human rights bodies, to address issues like torture, discrimination, and the rights of marginalized communities.
