World Justice Alliance WJA A Global Force for Human Rights and Justice

Belgrade, Serbia — September 24, 2023:** The World Justice Alliance (WJA), an international association of legal professionals, has officially launched its presence in Belgrade, Serbia. This milestone marks a significant step in the organization’s mission to defend human rights and justice on a global scale.

Global Reach, Local Impact:

The WJA is rapidly expanding, with members from various countries joining its ranks to combat gross human rights violations and provide aid to victims. The organization’s primary aim is to become a registered NGO headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and affiliated with the United Nations. Under its leitmotif, “justice for everyone, everywhere,” WJA seeks to address growing concerns about the politicization of justice systems, denials of justice, and the erosion of civil liberties in many parts of the world.

A Network of Legal Professionals:

The WJA fosters international collaboration among legal experts, including lawyers, magistrates, journalists, and investigators. By transcending borders, the organization facilitates access to justice for victims of human rights violations and war crimes, often left without recourse in their own countries due to political constraints or financial barriers.

Challenges of Our Time:

In an era marked by emerging technologies and environmental crimes, the need for transnational cooperation among legal professionals has never been more apparent. WJA endeavors to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds to set new standards and address global challenges, such as the misuse of artificial intelligence and environmental degradation.

A Beacon of Hope:

The founders of WJA recognized that many victims of crimes, rights abuses, and war crimes lacked the means to defend themselves against their oppressors. The organization aims to offer hope to those disillusioned by their national justice systems and to hold accountable political leaders and war criminals who believe they are beyond reproach.

Championing Justice:

WJA advocates for justice in cases where national jurisdictions fail to act due to political interference. The organization’s strategy includes utilizing the legal possibilities of other countries to initiate proceedings against perpetrators of abuses of power or crimes.

An International Presence:

WJA has opened offices not only in Belgrade but also in countries including India, Geneva, Frankfurt, Riyadh, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Belgium, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, France, the UK, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Nigeria, China, and Australia. This global footprint allows the organization to provide assistance to victims worldwide.

Combatting Misinformation:

WJA places a strong emphasis on combating misinformation by allowing the publication of only sourced and verified information. Disinformation, they argue, is counterproductive to their mission of seeking justice.

Collective Action for Change:

Individual cases of victims seeking WJA’s assistance are evaluated, and when applicable, grouped into collective actions, including class-action lawsuits. Some WJA members bring valuable experience in handling collective actions on behalf of thousands of victims of human rights abuses and war crimes.

A Bright Future for Justice:

With countless examples of human rights abuses continuing to emerge globally, WJA aims to transcend borders and offer international cooperation. Through better knowledge of international law, the organization seeks to open new horizons for victims let down by politicized national justice systems or powerful lobbies.

Supporting the Cause:

WJA calls on supporters worldwide to provide a platform for their actions and encourages donations that will help them champion overlooked causes. The organization acknowledges the challenges of setting up an international organization but remains committed to its vision of a world where justice prevails.

As WJA spreads its wings, it aspires to become a powerful force for human rights and justice, comparable to world-renowned NGOs defending various causes. In a world facing complex challenges, the pursuit of justice knows no boundaries, and the World Justice Alliance is determined to ensure that justice is indeed accessible to everyone, everywhere. Long live WJA!
