Reporting injustice to the highest international level

Dear friends,

Since its creation, TRIAL International has always sought to be as close as possible to its beneficiaries, which is why this newsletter focuses on our organization’s work in the field. This month you can read about an ongoing trial in DRC, written by our colleague in Goma, and discover the indignation of our Head of the Nepal Program about the indifference with which victims are confronted there.

TRIAL International is determined to bring the injustice it witnesses on the ground to the highest international level. Very recently, the expertise of one of our Legal Advisors was recognized by the UN Secretary General, who invited her to join his Advisory Board on prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. Also, in order to further mobilize the international community, this month our organization proudly published its fifth Universal Jurisdiction Annual Review.

Giving a voice to thousands of anonymous victims to give them the best chances of justice: this is the mission we have set ourselves. Thank you for your support which enables us to carry it out.

Enjoy the read,

TRIAL International's team
