Who We Are

Independent Legal Documentation, Since 2018

AIJ was founded by a network of jurists committed to ensuring that violations of international humanitarian law do not go unrecorded. We believe accountability begins with rigorous, verifiable documentation.

Our work combines field investigation with legal expertise to produce reports that meet the evidentiary standards required by international courts, tribunals, and human rights mechanisms — independent of governments and political movements.

Our Process

How We Document Violations

01

Field Investigation

Our field research units gather primary evidence, witness testimony, and physical documentation from affected areas.

02

Legal Analysis

Our legal team evaluates findings against international humanitarian law and human rights law frameworks.

03

International Advocacy

Verified findings are published and, where appropriate, referred to relevant international legal bodies.

AIJ's documentation meets a standard of rigor that is genuinely rare among independent legal organizations working in this space — their reports have been directly useful to our own casework.
