Happy holiday season!

Dear friends,

2016 has been another amazing year for TRIAL International. We have stood by the side of victims in their struggle for justice like never before.

The organization has broken new legal grounds, working on corporate cases, investigating international crimes, developing new universal jurisdiction strategies and increasingly engaging in the fight against sexual violence in conflict. We have obtained numerous positive court decisions and the adoption of legal amendments. Our team has also trained dozens of lawyers, practitioners, human rights defenders and journalists, often in dangerous environments.

If TRIAL International continues to grow in scope, successes and impact, it is thanks to your unbending trust. I would like to personally thank each and every one of you for your support.

TRIAL International is composed of expert and dedicated men and women who work tirelessly for a better, fairer world. This special newsletter puts them forward, as a token of appreciation for their passion and hard work.

On behalf of all the team, a very happy holiday season to you.

Philip Grant, Director
