Assisting victims of mass atrocities & serious human rights
abuses to find justice by all available legal mechanisms.

PEJ is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and its mission is to assist victims of mass atrocities and serious human rights abuses to find justice through all available legal mechanisms. We leverage our expertise in litigation and trial work to build the capacity of communities and organizations on the ground to collect evidence and document abuses. We carry out research to identify the most promising legal fora to pursue accountability and guide appropriate cases through the legal process. By combining training, mentoring, and independent legal consulting, we aim to create a sustainable model for fighting impunity, realizing accountability, and permanently disabling and dismantling the criminal networks responsible for the atrocities we address.
