Amnesty International’s Human Rights in International Justice Project

Amnesty International has campaigned against impunity for more than half a century, calling on national authorities to fulfil their responsibilities under international law to ensure justice, truth, full reparation and guarantees of non-repetition for victims of serious human rights violations.

Amnesty International’s Human Rights in International Justice Project seeks to promote:

  • better access for victims to national justice and, if that fails, international justice
  • stronger national and international laws aimed at ending impunity
  • human rights compliance by all international justice mechanisms.
