Geneva International Centre for Justice - GICJ

eloping regions around the world. This organisation was initially founded in 2009 by Dr Hans von Sponeck, Sabah Al-Mukhtar and Naji Haraj due to the immense devastation and massive war damages in the wake of the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq since 2003. GICJ primarily serves as an independent observer of human rights violations. We work closely with the United Nations in documenting these violations, raising global awareness, and enhancing access to justice for affected victims by examining all legal means possible. The organisation also works closely with a coalition of other Swiss-based NGOs and international organisations, and share an extensive network with lawyers, academics, universities, research centres and human rights experts around the world. Our organisation has participated, without fail, in most meetings of UN Human Rights bodies in Geneva. In addition to our work with the United Nations, we also work closely with various other organisations in attempting to mediate and resolve human rights conflicts through dialogue and negotiations, whenever and wherever possible. Additionally, as experts in the human rights field, we often organize forums and training workshops to educate people about human rights norms, violations and mechanisms to prevent them.
