Today is the annual EU Day Against Impunity for Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes. To mark the occasion, we are co-launching a new digital platform, MakingJusticeWork.org. The platform contains more than 400 resources for civil society, lawyers and survivors to use in the fight for global justice and accountability. MakingJusticeWork.org is part of the Global Initiative Against Impunity.
Sometimes, those who document violations and push for accountability are unable to access critical resources, especially in conflict-affected environments. Even when resources are available, they’re not always secure, inclusive, or easily translated into action.
That is why we are now co-launching MakingJusticeWork.orga digital platform for all those engaged in the fight for international justice – from civil society and survivor networks to legal professionals and journalists. The goal is to strengthen cases, amplify survivors’ voices, shape policy, and influence justice processes.
Useful resources and events calendar
At the heart of MakingJusticeWork.org is a user-friendly resource library with more than 400 briefs, thematic reports, practical guides for survivors, amicus submissions, practice notes, summaries of relevant case law and legal precedents, as well as communication materials like joint statements, press releases, and advocacy tools.There’s also an interactive events calendar that highlights key international justice events like ICC hearings, UN sessions, and civil society actions.
Head to the platform to explore its resources today. For more details, read this practical guide on how to make the best use of it.
