Connecting knowledge, Strengthening justice.

The “Global Initiative Against Impunity for international crimes: Making justice work” (GIAI) is a Consortium of eight international NGOs and the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to contribute to the fight against impunity by supporting a comprehensive, integrated and inclusive approach to justice and accountability for serious human rights violations and international crimes. Driven by this commitment, the Global Initiative launches MakingJusticeWork.org, the GIAI Knowledge Management Platform, a digital platform designed to strengthen the work of key stakeholders and actors engaged in the fight for accountability. The platform serves as secure and user-friendly digital space that aims to reduce barriers to information, coordination, and engagement. It centralises vital legal resources, survivor testimonies, advocacy tools, and practice notes, all in an accessible, structured format. Civil society organisations, victims and survivors, legal practitioners, and justice advocates play a critical role in advancing accountability for serious human rights violations and core international crimes. This collaborative environment allows them to access good practices, learn from comparative experiences, and build solidarity beyond their immediate networks. MakingJusticeWork.org aspires to be more than a repository of information: it aims to serve as a catalyst for collective strategy and learning. It offers a space where civil society actors can strengthen cases, amplify survivors’ voices, shape policy, and influence justice processes at every level. By transforming shared knowledge into collective capacity, the platform seeks to enable those fighting impunity to act with greater effectiveness, innovative tools, and coordination.

Introducing MakingJusticeWork.org
''Access to international justice is a fundamental right for everyone. Efforts to implement international justice have long been fragmented and led by Western experts. The launch of this multilingual resource hub is an opportunity for victims’ associations, local partners and human rights defenders, among other users, to share their experience, strengthen their knowledge and engage with us so that we advance together accountability for the most serious crimes.

This year’s statement underscores the urgent need for coordinated, principled action to uphold the international justice system and ensure that all survivors of atrocity crimes can access their right to truth, justice, and reparation. 📄 Read the full statement here .

Joint Statement of the Global Initiative Against Impunity on the Day of International Criminal Justice 2025.

Image
In the face of unprecedented threats over the past year , international justice mechanisms have demonstrated resilience and resolve. Nonetheless, we remain deeply concerned about the continued erosion of accountability that jeopardizes victims’ rights and weakens the international rule of law. In many contexts, transitional justice efforts are being undermined or co-opted, failing to confront the root causes of violence or deliver redress to those most affected. We have witnessed selective responses driven by political interests, interference and attacks that threaten the independence, impartiality and effectiveness of judicial bodies. The absence of concrete and coordinated action to preserve the international justice system—often in defiance of States’ obligations under international law—has allowed atrocities to persist and escalate, causing devastating suffering for civilians. In this difficult context, it is even more inspiring to see the unwavering commitment of human rights d...
