INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA

For over a decade, PILPG provided pro bono legal assistance to the office of the Prosecutor for the Yugoslavia Tribunal on a vast array of issues, including individual criminal responsibility, criminal participation, and crimes against humanity. PILPG provided similar assistance to the Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Cambodia and Lebanon Tribunals.     

Iraq Documentation

PILPG's Iraq Documentation Project aimed to advance the human rights of conflict-affected Iraqis through documentation of human rights abuses, service referrals, and advocacy for services and accountability. Documenters collected hundreds of testimonies from conflict-affected Iraqis in an unbiased and security-conscious manner. Based on information in the documentation collected, the project supported advocacy campaigns to promote accountability for victims and to raise awareness, encourage reform, and increase access to services.

Sri Lanka Transitional Justice

PILPG has worked with civil society organizations throughout Sri Lanka to strengthen their engagement with local and national-level transitional justice processes through documentation, reporting, government engagement, advocacy, and community-building.

Ukraine Transitional Justice

PILPG designed and implemented transitional justice training for Ukrainian civil society organizations and civil servants from the Ukrainian Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories. The training curriculum consisted of a total of 87 videos, six Q&A sessions, and two capstone sessions that brought together the voices of 26 experts with longstanding professional experience in the field of transitional justice.

PILPG received excellent feedback from the training participants during and after the training program. Some examples include:

• “It is always interesting to listen to experts who have built transitional justice themselves. Thank you for selecting the speakers - their life experience is very important.”

• “Thanks to proficient speakers all topics were interesting, indeed. I am not able to highlight some of them. Speakers made me think of every topic from a new perspective. Thanks a lot!”

• “Your work has been important and excellent and helped us provide important perspective for our partners in government and civil society.”
