WHO WE ARE
TRIAL International is a non-governmental organization fighting impunity for international crimes and supporting victims in their quest for justice. Founded in 2002, TRIAL International is based in Geneva, Switzerland, with offices in Bosnia Herzegovina and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and employs 50 staff members across all of its offices.
vision
TRIAL International believes in a world where justice is attained, accountability for those responsible for international crimes is realized and victims and survivors participate, are heard, respected and empowered.
mission
TRIAL International confronts double standards in international justice and fights impunity for international crimes by holding perpetrators – be they individuals, corporate actors, or states – accountable. Through strategic litigation, documentation, expertise-sharing, and targeted advocacy, we work closely with victims, bridge accountability gaps, and drive systemic change. Working closely with survivors and local partners worldwide, we ensure justice processes are inclusive, sustainable, and focused on the needs of those most affected.
