About us
A community of advocates
We are lawyers, researchers and volunteers who use international law to defend human rights, and who work to put justice within reach of the people least able to reach it.

Championing access to justice
Everyone has a right to justice. Just Access works to put that right within reach, through education and outreach, advocacy, and strategic litigation.
Strategic litigation
We choose cases that can change the law for more than one person, and we take them to court.
Education and outreach
We explain how human rights law works, on the blog and on the podcast, in language anyone can follow.
Advocacy
We hold civil-society seats at the UNCAC, the UNODC and the ICC coalition, and we speak there for the people we work with.
Six areas where we work
- Environmental justice
- Institutional corruption
- State responsibility
- Transitional justice
- Business and human rights
- Indigenous rights

We hold civil-society seats in the bodies where human rights standards are actually written and enforced, and we speak there for the people we work with.

Working with us is not a logo exchange. Each of these is a seat someone attends, prepares for and reports back from.
