An in-depth, country-specific resource that provides defenders with the tools to conduct a case, including how to assert fundamental questions of law, make effective procedural motions and protect special populations.
JusticeHub is an online platform that provides access to a global community of justice defenders and resources for those passionate about protecting human rights in legal systems worldwide. Whether you are a lawyer, a student, or involved in justice reform in any capacity, JusticeHub serves as an open resource for sharing knowledge and connecting with people who may have a solution to a justice problem you are facing. Currently, JusticeHub extends across 40 countries, with initiatives ranging from a prisoner rights awareness campaign in India to a justice film festival in Colombia. Collaboration on this scale is essential to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal 16, “…to provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels” because it builds a global knowledge collection that can be used to address local injustices.
