Justice Without Frontiers - About

Justice without Frontiers (JWF) is a nongovernmental, juristic organization, incorporated in November 2005 and headquartered in Beirut. Our role is to develop and promote Law Projects that support Human Rights and to achieve a just society where all its citizens have equal rights to access Justice. Justice without Frontiers gathers volunteer lawyers, law professionals, and passionate individuals who believe in Human Rights principles and are dedicated to work towards prosecuting violators and supporting victims who have no access to justice, at the national, regional, and international levels.
Justice without Frontiers (JWF) aims to achieve its objectives through prosecuting human right violators in national, regional, and international courts, providing legal assistance and legal representation to victims of violence, torture, and abuse and representing them in such courts. Moreover, JWF monitors trials and their conformance to international and regional standards of human rights and principles of just trials. This is ensured through urging Lebanon to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the promulgation of appropriate legislation conforming to the Court’s statute and relevant international conventions and agreements as well as cooperating with national, regional, and international alliances and coalitions who work on defending human rights. JWF also prepares reports regarding human right violations and the extent of countries’ commitment to relevant international standards. It provides legal and social studies as well as conducts necessary investigations, training programs, conferences and seminars to raise awareness and to spread the culture of democracy and the rule of law.
